What's the surface area/ size of the planets in No Man's Sky? Are they different sizes?
We know there's 18 quintillion planets in No Man's Sky, but how big are the planets and are they different sizes?
This Reddit thread suggests the following sizes:
- Diameter: 26 km/ 16 miles
- Surface Area: 2,123 km2 / 804 square miles (from this calculator)
Now we've got the game I'm interested in more accurate calculations, and whether the planets vary in size.
What is the surface area/ size of the planets in No Man's Sky?
Best Answer
They are known to be varied in size, they are not all the same size but they are also not all different sizes and you can actually notice this in the game itself. For example you could be using the pulse engine and it says there are 10 seconds until you arrive to that planet but it still looks really far away, this is because it will be classed as one of the smaller planets in no mans sky, but you can also get ones that could take minutes to arrive there but they look the same size as the one that takes you 10 seconds... This means that it will be a planet of a much larger scale. I haven't yet found any sources that show the exact surface area variety.

How large is a planet in no mans sky?
It took Kearney 11 hours and 50 minutes to walk almost halfway around the planet he chose. If one assumes his walking speed on it is 3.1 miles per hour, as the average is on Earth, that planet is about 74 miles in diameter.Rnbstylerz \u0026 AREES - WHAT
