that depends on what kind of atom it is. there are 100 or so different types of atoms. but they are ordered on the periodic table of elements from smallest to largest diameters of their nuclei

I don't know if this will help but an Atom is approx. 1 ten millionth of a millimetre. The Nucleus is only one millionth of a billionth of the volume of an atom.

It it theorized that if you could shrink down and stand on the surface of a electron in a hydrogen atom, the nucleus would appear as far as the sun is from the earth, approx. 93 million miles.

Roughly 10^-14 m

The higher the atomic weight, the larger the size.
See the periodic table.
Hydrogen would be smallest.
Uranium would be near the largest. (
These are diameters.
