The images below show six objects in our solar system. Rank these objects by size (average equatorial radius), from largest to smallest. (Not to scale.)
Answer:
Largest radius to Smallest radius:
Sun
Jupiter
Earth
Mars
Mercury
Pluto
Feedback: Sizes (radii) do not vary nearly as much as the masses, but the differences are still substantial. For example, the Sun's radius is more than 100 times that of Earth, while Jupiter's radius is more than 10 times that of Earth.
