Would it fill the night  sky? Illustrator and author Ron Miller[<a href="http://www.black-cat-studios.com]" target="_blank">www.black-cat-studios.com]</a> sought  to answer the question using the reference photograph above.   It’s important to note that this is strictly a visual exercise. If a  planet like Jupiter were actually as close to Earth as the Moon, its  immense gravitation would wreak havoc on our planet. So for the gallery  below, please temporarily suspend your disbelief and just imagine how  amazing it would be to see a planet like Saturn in such incredible  detail.   For reference, the Moon is about 386,243 km (240,000 miles) from Earth  and has a diameter of approximately 3,476 km (2,160 miles). The Earth’s  diameter is 12,742 km (7,918 miles) </blockquote>
