  • Planet vs. Star vs. Solar System vs. Galaxy: Size Comparison
    Here's the breakdown of those celestial objects from smallest to largest:

    * Planet: The smallest of the listed objects. Planets orbit stars.

    * Star: Stars are massive balls of hot gas that produce their own light and heat. They are much larger than planets.

    * Solar System: A solar system is a collection of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects that orbit a star.

    * Galaxy: A galaxy is a vast collection of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. Galaxies are much larger than solar systems.

    * Cluster: A cluster is a group of galaxies bound together by gravity. Clusters are the largest of the listed objects.

    So, the order from smallest to largest is: Planet, Star, Solar System, Galaxy, Cluster.
