If Earth were the size of Jupiter, it would have a number of significant effects on the planet and its inhabitants.
Firstly, the increased size would cause Earth's gravity to be much stronger. This would make it difficult for humans and other life forms to move around, and would also make it difficult for aircraft and spacecraft to take off and land.
Secondly, the increased size would also cause Earth's atmosphere to be much denser and thicker than it is currently. This would make it difficult for humans to breathe and survive on the planet. The increased pressure and temperature would also mean that water would exist in its gaseous form and the planet would be covered in thick clouds.
Thirdly, the increased size of Earth would also have an impact on the planet's orbit and rotation. Jupiter is much farther from the Sun than Earth and it takes 12 years to orbit it, meaning that a year on Earth the size of Jupiter would be much longer. The rotation of the planet would also be much slower, which would cause the day-night cycle to be much longer.
Lastly, the increased size of Earth would also have an impact on the planet's internal structure. Jupiter is a gas giant, and it does not have a solid surface like Earth. Therefore, it would not be able to support life as we know it.
It's important to note that this scenario is purely hypothetical, and it's not possible to have a solid planet the size of Jupiter. The laws of physics and the conditions required for the formation and stability of a planet are very different for gas giants and terrestrial planets.

Here are some things that will happen if the Earth was as big as Jupiter:
1. There might be more countries and more places to live.
2. The population of the world will increase and all of us will start fighting for food and water every day.
3. The gravity will be much stronger, so the birds won't be able to fly and will fall down.
4. Everything on Earth will collapse because of the stronger gravity.

HUGE mistake. 11 times the radius does not equal 11 times the gravity. No no no. 11 times the radius means over 1300 times the volume, which assuming the same density as Earth is now, means over 1300 times the mass, therefore 1300 times the gravity.
11 times gravity would not be survivable for more than a few seconds.
Imagine what 1300 times gravity would do to us.

I thought the content is What If The Earth Is As Size Of The Jupiter (since the beginning) and how would it be different from now, not What if It The Earth grow larger As The Size Of Jupiter. It's quite misleading, you explained that we will just die if it's as large as Jupiter (the Earth, not what is the possible life if our earth today is as large as Jupiter. -

Well if we could bypass all the obsticles and actually achive this then we would certainly have lots more room to expand human and animal population but that would mean global warming would have a bigger diameter of space to take a course from and plane flights to other countries that would be supersized with more buildings and stuff would take longer

It is possible that one day we could build a ''shell world'' over Jupiter. This would be a series of orbital rings with habitation that eventually cover the whole planet at around the level where gravity is one g. Issac Arthur explains it better than i can in his videos ''Shell worlds'' and ''Mega Earths''.

I was hoping you would share more than the impact the new gravity would have.
I was interested in knowing about the impact on climate, travel time, daylight and other stuff while keeping the gravity, water to land ratio and air components as constant.

You are making the Earth as big as Jupiter, right? That's an interesting scenario to explore, but let's imagine what would happen if the sun was smaller than the Earth. I love thinking about unrealistic things like these.

If earth was the size of Jupiter humans and other animals would have developed stronger bones and muscles to compensate for the stronger gravity. Plants would have also developed stronger cell walls.

I disagree. Saturn's gravity is almost comparable as earth's. Jupiter's gravity is only 2. 4 times that of earth. Gravity would not be an issue.

I wonder how much longer flights would be with a bigger Earth. like It was a 10-hour flight to London, now would it be doubled? Tripled?

It would collapse under it's gravity. the reason Jupiter is so massive is because it is mostly hydrogen and helium, very light gases.

Yeah, more gravity, heavier people, blah, blah, blah. How about the impact of a Jupiter-sized Earth on travel across the world?

If Earth was the size of Jupiter people would have to be very very small to handle the gravity, then things might work out.

Wrong, if earth is as big as Jupiter, the earth's gravitational force of attraction is much much more than that of Jupiter.
