Its size is due to its strong gravitational pull, allowing it to accumulate a large amount of gas and dust during its formation. Jupiter's immense size also contributes to its iconic feature, the Great Red Spot, which is a massive storm that has been raging for centuries. Overall, Jupiter's size and characteristics make it the biggest planet in our solar system.

Geoid refers to the shape of the earth. The geoid is a model that represents the earth's shape as if it were completely covered by water, with no land or mountains. It is a more accurate representation of the earth's shape compared to a perfect sphere or an ellipsoid, as it takes into account the irregularities and variations in the earth's gravitational field. The geoid is used in geodesy and surveying to measure and map the earth's surface accurately.
