how would a planet with a surface area of 700 trillion square kilometers look like in the sky ? and what will be considered a day on its surface if it is as far away from its star as mars and its star is like the sun but big enough to contain the planet?

so i'm witing a sci-fi novel and I need answers to some scientific questions to keep everything logically or scientifically believable enough , so if this planet ever existed and it supports life , what will life be like on a planet this huge? and what are the survival risks that would arise because of its huge size, and if it has thousands of trillions of people living in it lets say a population of (90,000 trillion) can they be living together in peace under a government or will it be hard for a government to exist and manage this kind of population due to its big size ?
