Both marked spans share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its proportions; poses and surface detail are illustrative.
A little perspective
The mean diameter of Enceladus is about 1.01 times the length of 500 kilometres.

Enceladus
Rounded mean-radius model of Enceladus. The derived area and volume describe a sphere; surface terrain and flattening are omitted.
NASA JPL — Planetary satellite physical parameters
The marked mean diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares length with mean diameter. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Length ↔ Mean diameter
- Relative size
- Enceladus is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.01. Enceladus's selected measurement is approximately 0.84% greater than 500 kilometres's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Enceladus is labelled approximate; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
