as per answer 1; not quite, thats still not the actual order of sizes. You leave the list open and vague. At least answer the first question fully. Exactly What are the 100 largest bodies. Cruithne of that list for instance is a moon but doesn't qualify even in the top 500. Some of these other moons
aren't even large enough to qualify in the top 100.
The single question is more complicated than your simple answer. And would it hurt you so much to answer the other 6? Thats a 2 point answer, not a 50 point answer.

The following link is a list of solar system objects by mass from most massive to least massive. If it was really by radius, not mass, you were after there is a blue link to it at the link below so it should be easy to view.

That´s not one question, but six.....

I stick to the first one:
Sun, nine planets makes 10.

A list of moons and their diameters can be found here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons

Add in a couple of the larger asteroids, Ceres, Pallas and you´re done for the first question.
