If four earths could fit into the hexagon, use your imagination to imagine how really big Saturn is, and it’s not the biggest planet in our system, but it is good that, today, it is more than 881,000,000 miles away from Earth -
Jupiter is a mere 15% larger than Saturn, but it has three times the mass of Saturn and only four rings. No Hex on Jupiter, but there is that long, lasting high- pressure system creating the ever popular Great Red Spot.

What's really crazy about the biggest gas giants is that we really don't have a clue about the solid parts of them. (I'd guess some very heavy elements to condense so much gas/liquid That the planet would float on water) The crazy magnetic fieldss and moons nearly the size of planets.
Each giant is a mini planetary system even possibly a failed brown dwarf star.
We'll see if this IP gets seen after this comment.
