What is the biggest to smallest thing in these words Solar system sun moon universe galaxy gas giant terrestrial planet oort cloud asteroid meteorite?

Universe, galaxy, solar system, oort cloud, sun, gas giant, terrestrial planet, moon, asteroid, meteoriteThere are ambiguities. It is possible for a planetary moon to be larger than a terrestrial planet (Ganymede vs. Mercury, for example), and the oort cloud is placed on the list as a part of the larger structure of the solar system, even though it's extent may dwarf the solar system's planetary regions. Some asteroids may be larger than some moons.

What planet has the greatest number of moons?

Jupiter holds the record for the most known moons in our solar system, with over 80 natural satellites. Some of these moons, like Ganymede and Callisto, are even larger than the planet Mercury.


Which planet has four out 16 moons that are bigger than Pluto?

Four of the moons of Jupiter (Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa) are larger than Pluto, but there are only 7 moons in this solar system that are larger than Pluto.


Which planet do have 27 moons?

The larger planets have much greater gravity than the inner planets, and large and complex moon systems have developed. Uranus has 5 large moons in regular orbits and 13 smaller ones closer to the planet, some involved with the tenuous rings around the planet. The 9 known outer moons are thought to be captured asteroids. They circle at from 5 to 20 million kilometers from the planet and all but one have retrograde orbits (the reverse direction from the larger moons and from the planet's rotation).

What is the order of the following objects in order from the largest to the smallest nebulae Star planet constellation galaxy moon?

* Galaxy * Nebula * Star * Planet * Moon However, some moons are larger than planets, and some planets and moons are larger than some stars. A constellation is an imaginary pattern of stars, so one cannot speak of its actual size.


A Moon can be larger than a Planet?

Some moons can be bigger than some planets, but moons cannot be bigger than their own planet otherwise the planet would become the moon and the moon would become the planet due to the difference in size, mass and gravitational pull.


What are the size of moons?

Moons vary in size, with some being as small as a few hundred meters in diameter while others can be larger than some planets, like Jupiter's moon Ganymede which is larger than the planet Mercury. The largest moon in our solar system, Ganymede, has a diameter of about 5,268 kilometers.


Are the moons in the solar system larger than the planets?

No, moons in the solar system are typically smaller than planets. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets, while planets are larger celestial bodies that do not orbit anything except their host star.


Is a black dwarf star smaller than a planet?

A black dwarf would be about the same size as a terrestrial planet such as Earth, so it would be larger than some planets but smaller than others.


A planet with more than 16 moons?

Saturn is the planet with the most moons in our solar system, having more than 80 moons. Another planet with more than 16 moons is Jupiter, which has over 50 moons. These moons vary in size and composition, with some being as small as a few kilometers across and others as large as our own Moon.
