• Black hole - being a singularity, it has no diameter. If you count the event horizon, can range from a few miles for a collapsed star to solar-system sized for some supermassive galactic centers.
• Meteorite - mostly small rock to boulder size.
• pulsar, neutron star, comet, asteroid, moon - the size ranges of these objects overlap. Pulsars are a form of neutron star.
• White dwarf, planet - White dwarfs range from about Earth-sized to several times larger.
• Sun
• Red giant
• Supergiant - several AU in diameter
• Solar system
• Quasar - considering the quasar to be the entire accretion disk around a supermassive black hole.
• Nebula - a few to a few thousand light years.
• Galaxy - On the order of 100,000 light years; contains all the other objects

Each of these bodies vary in size, within their respective categories, and many aren't categorized by size, but by their properties. Asteroids, comets and meteorites can vary from stone sized to the size of planets, and pulsars are of unknown origin, thought to be from a neutron star, and mostly designated as a volume of output, rather than any measured circumference. I would place them in this order: meteorite, comet, asteroid, moon, planet, white dwarf, pulsar, neutron star, sun, red giant, super giant, nebula (assuming you mean a planetary nebula), quasar, solar system, galaxy. Suns are more often measured by temperature rather than size (although luminosity indicates size), and will fall into different classes throughout their lifetimes. Quasars are of unknown size and origin, but the source is seen as a single point of light with an output several thousand times that of our entire galaxy; it could be placed with suns, or with galaxies. Black holes are known only by an absence of light behind them as seen through a telescope and have no true measurement, allowing them to be placed anywhere between sun-sized to Galaxy-sized; theoretically, a black hole can be any size.

That relies upon on what's meant via the word "unpredicted". Even on the earth, in case you anticipate the sunlight to circulate one way, and it incredibly strikes yet in a different way, then it incredibly is unpredicted. Mercury, Venus, and Uranus all have unusual strikes of the sunlight. On Mercury at some places, an observer could see the sunlight upward thrust and then progressively improve in obvious length because it slowly moved in the direction of the zenith. At that element the sunlight could give up, quickly opposite course, and give up returned in the previous resuming its course in the direction of the horizon and lowering in obvious length. each and every of the whilst the celebrities could be shifting thrice swifter around the sky. Observers at different factors on Mercury's floor could see different yet the two extraordinary motions. On Venus, the sunlight rises interior the west and contraptions interior the west -- different than which you won't be in a position to work out the sunlight in any respect because of the dense clouds. For Uranus, there are instances of the three hundred and sixty 5 days whilst the sunlight now not often strikes in any respect. At different instances, it strikes in a typical west-to-east action. Then 0.5 an Uranus 3 hundred and sixty 5 days later, it strikes east-to-west.
