Answer:

5.36 times bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the Earth is:


r_e = 6371 km

so its diameter is


d_e = 2 r_2 = 12742 km

The radius of Pluto is:


r_p = 1188 km

So its diameter is


d_p = 2 r_p = 2376 km

So the ratio between the two diameters is


(d_e)/(d_p)=(12742 km)/(2376 km)=5.36

So the diameter of the Earth is 5.36 times bigger than the diameter of Pluto.
