Question

The correct descending order of the planets on the basis of their size from the given below

A.

Saturn, Neptune, Earth, Uranus

B.

Saturn, Earth, Neptune, Uranus

C.

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth

D.

Uranus, Earth, Saturn, Neptune

Correct option is C


The correct answer is (c).
Explanation
The descending order of these four planets based on their mean diameter is: Saturn > Uranus > Neptune > Earth.
Approximate diameters are:
· Saturn: 120,536 km
· Uranus: 51,118 km
· Neptune: 49,528 km
· Earth: 12,742 km
Therefore, the correct descending order is Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth.
Additional Information
· Option {a} is incorrect because {Neptune is smaller than Uranus, so Neptune cannot come before Uranus}.
· Option {b} is incorrect because {Earth is much smaller than both Uranus and Neptune}.
· Option {d} is incorrect because {Saturn is the largest among the four planets, whereas Uranus cannot be placed before Saturn}.
· {Among all eight planets, Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, followed by Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury.}
