Adding the other planets

The following table shows the data of each of the planets, in values relative to the earth (source: https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/planet_table_ratio.html). For example, you can see that Mercury is 0.38 smaller than Earth, and Jupiter is 11.21 times bigger than Earth. Mercury takes 58.8 days to make one rotation that Earth does in 24 hours, yet makes its way around the sun in just 87.7 earth days.
