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

There was a video here which found that it took 12 hours to walk half way across a planet, therefore it would be one day to travel the circumference.

So based on an average walking speed of 3.1 mph, it would have a 74.4 mile circumference with a 23.68 mile diameter. That's 119.04KM and 37.89 KM.

The planets do appear different sizes, but are all within a similar range.
