Jovian Geography and World Statistics
Probably the most important feature about Jovia to keep in mind
is that it's huge. The planet has a diameter of 88,850 miles,
the same as the gas giant Jupiter (hence the name). Because of its
lower density, the surface gravity of Jovia is only about 1 G, the
same as Earth.
While its diameter is only 11 times greater than Earth's, Jovia
has 503 times more surface area (99.2 billion square miles to Earth's
197 million).
94% of Jovia's surface is covered by ocean (compared to Earth's
72%). This means that there are 5.9 billion square miles of dry
land on the planet (Earth: 57 million), most of which is divided
into 3,000 landmasses large enough to be considered continents (an
average area of about 2 million sq. mi. each).
Jovia has extremely mild seasons because its axial tilt is only
4.7° (Earth: 23.5°).
