In order from least to greatest in mean radius:Vesta (protoplanet)Pallas (protoplanet)Charon+ (dwarf planet)Orcus (dwarf planet)Quaoar (dwarf planet)Ceres (dwarf planet)Sedna (dwarf planet)"Snow White" [2007 OR10]* (dwarf planet)Haumea* (dwarf planet)Makemake (dwarf planet)Pluto+ (dwarf planet)Eris (dwarf planet)Mercury (terrestrial planet)Mars (terrestrial planet)Venus (terrestrial planet)Earth (terrestrial planet)Neptune (ice giant)Uranus (ice giant)Saturn (gas giant)Jupiter (gas giant)*There is a slight discrepancy as to how Haumea ought to be measured, due to its unusual shape. This makes it slightly unclear as to which is considered larger between Haumea and "Snow White."+Binary planet
