Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest within the our solar system. It and the other gas giants (Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are sometimes referred to as "Jovian planets." Jupiter (in mythology) stands in for the ritual and augural authority of the Flamen Dialis (high priest of Jupiter) and the chief priestly colleges. Jupiter is 778,330,000 km from the Sun and weighs 142,984 km.
