I like Star Wars, Star Wars is set in space, my website is about space, hence I made a Star Wars thing for the website. The graphic shows all the planets and moons seen in the original (theatrical) trilogy to scale alongside the two Death Stars for good measure.
The sizes of the various bodies as found on http://starwars.wikia.com/ are:
| Name | Diameter | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Tatooine | 10,465 km | Planet |
| Alderaan | 12,500 km | Planet |
| Death Star | 120 km | Space Station |
| Yavin IV | 10,200 km | Moon |
| Yavin Prime | 198,500 km | Planet |
| Hoth | 7,200 km | Planet |
| Dagobah | 8,900 km | Planet |
| Bespin | 118,000 km | Planet |
| Endor | 4,900 km | Moon |
| Death Star II | 900 km | Space Station |
There are several different sizes given for the second Death Star depending on what source is used, these vary between 160km – 900+km but since we’re going on what was in the films and model scaling suggests it was larger than the first Death Star it’s more interesting to use this version.
Also it’s interesting to note:
- Alderaan, famous for being destroying in A New Hope, is the closest in size to the Earth with a diameter of 12,500 km vs Earth’s 12,742 km average diameter.
- Hoth is larger, but still the closest in size to Mars, with a diameter of 7,200 km vs Mars’ 6,779 km.
- Endor, the smallest of the bodies to appear in the original trilogy, has a diameter of 4,900 km which makes it very slightly larger than our solar system’s smallest planet, Mercury which has a diameter of 4,879 km.
- Of the gas giants seen in Star Wars, Bespin is very similar in size to Saturn (116,464 km average diameter) but is still quite a bit smaller than Jupiter (139,822 km), which in turn is much smaller than Yavin Prime, the largest planet to appear in the original trilogy.

Correction: The initial article and graphic had the first Death Star sized with a 160 km diameter. This should have been 120 km, 160 km is the smaller given size of the second Death Star.
use the force
Dudethatlikestarwars
this is so accurate and i will use all this info in my space project for school thanks alot for helping me on my pluto project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
too many !!!! < of those! No offense!
wow
i did not realize that the death star was so tiny compared to earth i thought the death star was bigger
cool stuff!!! ๐ I MAKE STAR WARS ORIGAMI!!!
You can’t claim the age of any planet or moon as a fact because it has not been proven. Cool site

Sweet
Wow, that helped with my fan fiction, but can soeone do something like that for the Alien franchise? Star Trek?
Its a space station.
May the mass times excelleration be with you!!
this is awsome! # greatness
Please make more facts. It makes me the top during our astronomy quizes.
this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
if you don’t like the dark side, i bet Darth Vader and his Stormtrooper army will haunt youuuuuuu.

Cool right?
The Death Star I and Death Star II are smaller than the moon. “That`s no moon…” – Han Solo
Dude that’s a Ben Kenobi quote not a Han Solo quote
the mesurments fore both death stars are incorrect the firs death star was about 160 kilometers in diameter and the seconed was around 200 kilometers in diameter.
your measurments for the death star are off and your measrments for the seconed death star are around 800 kilometers off.
oops did not mean to send it twice.
STAR WARS FOREVER!
star wars!
this is so cool. it’s like our regular universe!
gr8
never knew there was a Death Star II
its in episode 6.
may the 4th be with you
may the 4th b with u !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 ๐
may the 4th b with u star wars lovers
Since they all clearly had a “g” identical to earth’s, you could calculate the masses and densities of each of these planets/moons as well.
first to say Star Wars is the best in 2020
WOW im seeing this exactly 5 years later. 2020 sucks
The Death Star 1 is so small!So is Death Star 2!
