We can get a good idea of the size of Nibiru by looking at other planets and
objects with
masses greater than Jupiter.

Radius: 1.8

Type: at the
higher end of its
estimated mass (8 + 7 = 15
M
J
) it
qualifies as a
brown dwarf
because
it would have then passed the
minimum 13
M
J
criteria to be
categorised as a brown dwarf.
However, on the lower end of its
mass range (8 - 3 = 5
M
J
) it would
qualify as a rogue gas giant planet.

Nibiru's solid diameter: Based on the width difference between Jupiter and Saturn, we
might estimate this to be 102,794 miles or 165,431 kilometres (1.157 Jupiter diameters or
12.97 Earth diameters) across equator. This is 13,948 miles wider than Jupiter's diameter of
88,846 miles or 142,984 km, same as the width difference between Jupiter and Saturn.
Nibiru has a minimum possible diameter of 47,559 miles or 76,539 km (6 x Earth
diameter,
provided it has the same composition as our home planet, as per this
wiki entry on Jupiter's
mass
: "
A Jupiter-mass planet with an Earth-like composition would have a radius 5
–
6 times
the Earth.") and a maximum possible diameter of 296,746 miles or 477,566 km (3.34 x
Jupiter diameter or 37.4 x Earth diameter or 0.343 Sun diameter).
However, another, perhaps more accurate, way to estimate Nibiru's size is to use that
of
2M1207b
, given that its 4 M
J
mass is the closest to what we've approximated for Nibiru,
3.34 M
J
. 2M1207b has a radius of 1.5 R
J
i.e. 1.5 x 71492 km (Jupiter's radius) = 107,238 km.
Its diameter would then be 107238 x 2 = 214,476 km. We can then
calculate based on the
difference between 2M1207b and Nibiru's mass the diameter of the latter: 4/3.34 = 1.198;
therefore 214476 / 1.198 =
179,028 km (111,243 miles), which is close to our relatively
conservative 165,431 km (102,794 miles) estimate above.
Nibiru's density: Jupiter has a density of 1.326 g/cm
3
and Saturn has 0.687 g/cm
3
. The
difference in their densities is 1.326 - 0.687 = 0.639, which if added to the density of Jupiter
gives
1.965 g/cm
3
. Therefore, from this estimate, we can deduce that the density of Nibiru is
1.965 g/cm
3
. Interestingly, in the solar system simulator
Universe Sandbox
, plugging in the
parameters for an object with a mass of 3.34 M
J
and a density of 1.965 g/cm
3
gives us a
diameter of
183,191 km (113,829 miles
)
. Not far off from the above estimate.
Nibiru's composition: the element with a density closest to 1.965 g/cm
3
is
Cesium
. Cesium
is highly radioactive
and extremely
electropositive
(meaning it exudes electricity). Perhaps
this explains the high levels of radioactivity and undoubtedly electricity that was detected
within the magnetic core containing the solid sphere (the planet itself) of Nibiru.
Cesium is
also silvery-gold in colour
. This could explain why
some believe it is made of gold
and also
why the Vatican commissioned
a silvery-gold sculpture to be made in Nibiru's image
. If the
object is purely composed of
iron oxide
, as some have
suggested, then its density would be
around 5.242 g/cm
3
. However, the iron oxide dust might just be coating its surface and
atmosphere, giving it its characteristic reddish hue. In any case, the strong presence of iron
in its composition could account for some of the object's considerable magnetic properties.
The presence of iron oxide also tells us that Nibiru's atmosphere contains some amount of
oxygen. The radioactivity and electropositivity of cesium combined with oxidisation of oxygen
and its allotropes (such as pale-blue
ozone
) with other elements could also explain the
extreme
chemiluminescence
we see igniting Nibiru's atmosphere, giving it a fiery
appearance. This agrees with
the ancients, who described it as a "
fiery body of flame
".
