Google Answers And Comparisons
Back in 2009, when HTC HD2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_HD2) was released, many people complained that it had a huge screen (http://www.pcworld.com/article/181380/htc_hd2_with_huge_4_3_inch_screen_shipping_to_euro pe_asia.html): a 4.3-inch display. **w it seems quite small. Even iPhone's 3.5-inch display seemed very big (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/01/09/some-hands-on-time-with-the-iphone/?_r=0) back in 2007. As you can see, context matters and it puts things into perspective.
When searching Google for [Saturn size (https://www.google.com/search?q=saturn+size)], you used to get an answer that was useful, but **t that revealing. So the radius is 58,232 km (36,184 miles). It's obviously very large, but how does it compare to other planets? **w Google shows other planets and their size below the answer.

Search for [Earth mass (https://www.google.com/search?q=earth+mass)] and Google shows that Venus has almost the same mass, while Jupiter's mass is 317.8 times bigger.

The instant answer for [Earth surface area (https://www.google.com/search?q=earth+surface+area)] confirms that Earth and Venus are close in size.

What about gravity? Pretty close.

"The solar system is a pretty big place. To get a quick refresh on astro**my, you can ask Google 'What is the surface area of Earth?' and find out that it's 196.9 million square miles. But how BIG is that? Clearly **t as large as some of our waistlines post-holidays—but is it larger or smaller than Jupiter? The size of Earth makes more sense when considered relative to the surface area of other planets; Earth is similar in size to Venus but more than 100 times smaller than Jupiter! Google **w provides these comparisons, helping you understand the world (or solar system) around you," informs Google (https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550/posts/FZp8MYZq74U).
For **w, this feature is only available for astro**my-related questions. You can find some similar comparisons when you search for things like [China GDP (https://www.google.com/search?q=china+gdp)] or [India population (https://www.google.com/search?q=india+population)].
