For demotivational purposes, if any, Singapore is only 710.2 km2 big. Yes, we are smaller than New York City.
But it doesn't really matter because we are all part of our beloved planet Earth, which is the largest planet within the inner solar system.
Yeah. We are huge alright. But when we move out into the outer solar system...
Screw you Jupiter! Are you on steroids on something? How the hell did you get so fat? Even Neptune is insanely bigger than Earth.
WHAT THE HECK! Sun! You are one huge badass mofo!!! Just don't roll over. Really. With 99.9% of the Solar System's mass inside you, once you start rolling, you will never stop.
And this is a family photo of our Solar System, showing who stays where. Seriously, the Sun looks like a super mean, super dangerous meatball which will roll over us sooner or later. But actually...
As huge as the Sun is to us, it is nothing compared to these other even bigger stars outside our Solar System. Arcturus can easily EAT the Sun for breakfast, lunch, high-tea, dinner and supper anytime.
We have entered a realm where no adjectives in the human language can effectively convey the sheer size of these monstrous stars. Big? Huge? Gigantic? Immense? Colossal? Gargantuan? How about very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very big.
There exists something else which is larger than Arcturus! And its like a million times larger! Which makes it a gazillion times bigger than our Sun. And infinitely larger than Earth! Even Jupiter has been reduced to invisibility at that level. If Antares were to roll into our neighbourhood, we will all die.
Holy shit. Outer space sure is a scary place.
