How big is Saturn V?

For this comparison, Saturn V measures 110.6 m in height (362.9 ft). Launch vehicle height including the Apollo spacecraft.

A rocket’s height depends on whether the spacecraft and escape system are included.

Put the measurement in perspective

The recorded height is 65.059 times the height of A 1.70 m person (1.7 m). This is a ratio of the labelled linear dimensions. It does not describe weight, area or volume.

Use the interactive comparison to see both drawings on one shared scale. You can choose another reference or enter your own height. If the sizes are very far apart, the smaller object may be almost invisible; an intermediate reference makes the progression easier to inspect.

Check the convention

Diameter excludes orbital distance. Check whether the source gives equatorial, mean or rounded diameter before comparing it with another table.
