There is no deterministic way to determine exactly how much bigger - notably because Earth's ice caps vary in size year to year. But even if we us median values... differences in atmospheric pressure, atmospheric composition, energy from the star, surface water (volume, salinity, surface area)... there's simply too many variables to give you an answer other than "bigger." | |
