Answer 2

If you look on wikipedia, you will find the equatorial radius for each object, by putting its name in the search box on the left of the first page (about Earth), at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

Except for Comet Halley, where you will find all sorts of info except the size. Having a comet in the list is a trick question because the solid part is very small ( a few dozen kilometres at most). However, the coma and the tail can be much bigger than anything else in the solar system.

And it is the coma and tail that make it a comet, not just the nucleus. So, just to make sure, put it at the small end of your list and add (in brackets) 'nucleus only'.

Once you have collected all the equatorial radii, put them in order from largest to smallest.

It is relatively easy to do, and you might even see other info about each object.

For example, Ceres (discovered on New Year's day 1801) was a planet for 50 years or so. Then (like Pluto, and for the same reasons) it was demoted. it became the first minor planet.

When Pluto was demoted and made into a dwarf planet, Ceres (the biggest of the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter) got promoted to dwarf planet.

Answer 3

You know, almost everything you need to answer this question is in your textbook or online (like in wikipedia).
The whole point of homework is NOT to have some just give you the answer - the point is to learn how to find the answer for yourself.
Believe me, when you get out into the working world you will need the skill to find answers for yourself.

Answer 4

im pretty sure Jupiter is the largest
