Saturn is the largest planet in diameter 120,500 km and Mercury is the smallest at 4,800 km. That's a difference of 115,700 km!
Very good thinking, Casey!
Dear Mrs. Taylor,
Neptune is just over 10 times the diameter of Mercury.Mercury is 4,800 KM and 4,800 X 10 = 48,000.
Neptune is 49,500 KM.

Meagan, thank your for your excellent contribution!!
These planets are not in order from the sun. The correct order is Mercury, "Venus", Earth, "Mars", "Jupiter", Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and "Pluto".
