These lists contain the Sun, the planets, dwarf planets, many of the larger small Solar System bodies (which includes the asteroids), all named natural satellites, and a number of smaller objects of historical or scientific interest, such as comets and near-Earth objects.
File:Sun, Earth size comparison.jpg Without text Not for voting. The Earth and moon, shown to scale including correct relative distance. An amazing picture of the sun and the earth. The thing that I like the most is that you can get a feeling of size and scale in the solar system when you look at how tiny the earth looks besides it. It really ...

Thus, the Sun occupies 0.00001% (1 part in 10 7) of the volume of a sphere with a radius the size of Earth's orbit, whereas Earth's volume is roughly 1 millionth (10 −6) that of the Sun. Jupiter, the largest planet, is 5.2 AU from the Sun and has a radius of 71,000 km (0.00047 AU; 44,000 mi), whereas the most distant planet, Neptune, is 30 AU ...
English: Comparison of angular diameter of the Sun, Moon and planets with the International Space Station (as seen from the surface of the Earth), the 20/20 row of the Snellen eye chart at the proper viewing distance and typical human visual acuity. The dotted circles represent the minimum angular size (when the celestial bodies are farthest ...

Though differing in size and temperature, terrestrial planets of the Solar System were reported to have high Earth Similarity Index values – Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Sizes to scale. The Earth Similarity Index (ESI) is a proposed characterization of how similar a planetary-mass object or natural satellite is to Earth. It was designed to ...
