Ms. Cody challenged her students to make a model of the solar system. Karol and Sanjay researched several planets and compiled their data in the table seen here. They wanted to make a accurate scale model. Help Karol and Sanjay by ranking these planets from smallest to largest.
A Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn
B Earth, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter
C Jupiter, Saturn, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury
D Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter
To rank the planets from smallest to largest based on their diameters:
1. Mercury (approx. 4,880 km)
2. Mars (approx. 6,779 km)
3. Venus (approx. 12,104 km)
4. Earth (approx. 12,742 km)
5. Saturn (approx. 116,460 km)
6. Jupiter (approx. 139,822 km)
The correct order from smallest to largest is: D Mercury, Mars, Venus, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter.
This ranking follows the actual sizes of the planets in our solar system. Great job working on this model! If you need more detailed information or assistance with your project, check out the extended services page!
