Question

Arrange the celestial bodies in our solar system in increasing order based on their size.

Answer 1

Mercury,Venus,earth,mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune,pluto

Answer 2

Please be mindful that the original question asks for celestial bodies **in increasing order based on size** not distance from the sun. Additionally, it is not just asking for planets, but all celestial bodies in the solar system.

From NASA's website: "Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity — the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids."

I would probably put asteroid at the front of the list, since they're typically 1 meter or less in length. Asteroids are typically 10+ meters, and comets are typically 10km+ meters, so those come next. Moons are a bit trickier, because different planets have differently sized moons. But I would probably place them after comets and before the planets. Then, the planets, in order of increasing size: Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter. Then finally, the sun.
