re: A comparison with Jupiter

Are those comparison images equivalent in kilometers, or seconds of arc?

I.e., are the images of Jupiter and the comet comparisons of absolute size, as if they were both viewed from the same distance, or comparisons of their apparent sizes as viewed through a telescope? I presume the comet and the planet are at very different distances from earth.
