How did the ancients know that Jupiter, and not Saturn or Venus, was the largest planet in the solar system?
Question by alexander: How did the ancients know that Jupiter, and not Saturn or Venus, was the largest planet in the solar system?
Jupiter is the third brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus. How did the ancients know that Jupiter was the largest planet? Jupiter is the king of the Gods according to mythology. Saturn has a larger orbit. Why didn’t they make Saturn the king of the Gods? Why is the planet Jupiter considered the king of the Gods. Why did they give that planet the name Jupiter, which means king of the Gods? Did the ancients discover that Jupiter was the largest planet? How did they discover that Jupiter was the largest planet?

Answer by Buckeye Bill
They looked up and studied the night skys for hundreds if not thousands of years and came to that conclusion. The ancients were a lot smarter than we give them credit for. Have a great day.

When the original ETX telescope, the ETX-90RA, was introduced in 1996, it quickly created a revolution in amateur astronomy. Here for the 1st time was an ultraportable and highly versatile telescope system of unprecedented optical resolution and performance. Within a year of its introduction the ETX became the top-selling modern telescope in the world.Manufactured entirely at Meade’s Irvine, California, facility, ETX Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes produce optical performance and resolution that equal or exceed any Maksutov optics of similar apertures ever manufactured at any price, past or present. Their optics are so high in contrast, image brightness, and resolution that the ETX-90EC and ETX-125EC often outperform many telescopes of larger apertures. These models build on the original ETX concept to create the most advanced electronically controlled telescopes–including optional automatic go-to-object location with the Autostar computer controller–ever produced in their price range.
