The mass of the Earth compares to Neptune as the mass of Neptune compares to Jupiter.

Earth mass (M) is the unit of mass equal to that of the Earth. 1 M = 5.9737 × 1024 kg.[1][2] Earth mass is often used to describe masses of rocky terrestrial planets.

The four terrestrial planets of the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, have masses of 0.055, 0.815, 1.000, and 0.107 Earth masses respectively.

One Earth mass can be converted to related units:
