minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•5 months agoTitan is about 40% the size of the planet Earth, and is the 10th largest object in the solar system.
minus-square@elephantiumlinkEnglish2•5 months agoGoing from memory here… Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus/Neptune (don’t recall which order those two belong in), Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, then finally Titan. I’ll look it up in a moment, but I wanted to post off the top of my head.
minus-square@elephantiumlinkEnglish6•5 months agoAh! I was a little off. Ganymede and Titan are BOTH larger than tiny little Mercury.
minus-square@elephantiumlinkEnglish4•5 months agoNo, I didn’t forget Pluto. It isn’t chonky enough to be in that list (but it still has a place in my heart ❤️). See, Pluto’s radius is about 0.19 Earths vs. Titan’s 0.4 Earths – or, by mass, Pluto is 0.00218x Earth vs. Titan being 0.0225x Earth ⚪️ < actual size 😂

Only one has sea rats, though.
Whoosh! I think I just missed a reference.
