How many times bigger is a proton than an electron?
It depends on what you mean by bigger. A proton is about 1835 times more massive than an electron. If you are asking about their physical dimensions - no one knows. Scientists currently do not know how small electrons are. They are smaller than we can currently measure and may not have a size at all!
