Description

Hey nick! looking at the planets, and comparing their size I see

This was hand drawn by the way, no compasses or anything, and I used line paper to measure, and some trigonometry to approximate the curvature of the sun ;)

From smallest to largest, in terms of mean diameter

Moon (Mo): .273 Earths
Mercury (Me): .383 Earths
Mars (Ma): .532 Earths
Venus (V): .950 Earths
Earth (E): 1 Earth
Neptune (N): 3.86 Earths
Uranus (U): 3.98 Earths
Saturn (Sa): 9.14 Earths
Jupiter (J): 10.97 Earths
Sun: 109 Earths
