Recently, I’ve written a few articles about our solar system. I thought it might be sort of fun to have a quiz about the solar system, mostly about sizes of the bodies in it. This should help to gain some perspective on our solar system and about some of the planets and moons inside of it.
This isn’t designed to be a hard quiz, but we’ll see just how difficult it is.

This was very interesting and good to know about the solar system, I never knew much but guessed at 4.
The solar system is a fascinating place. When I was younger, astronomy was a major interest of mine.
I got only half correct on this one.
That is a pretty good score. This information is rarely taught in schools.
I got 8, but one I clicked too fast! Nice quiz!
I was hoping that people would find it interesting. If interest can be sparked in a person, they become open to learning.
that is very true – good quiz!
Got 5 mostly guess work (lol)
A score of five is actually pretty good, Grace.
Great quiz Rex but I missed a few. Learned a lot!
Learning is always the goal, so if you learned, you succeeded.
I did lousy. I would make a horrible astronomer.
The very best astronomer started out knowing very little about the planets and the stars. 🙂
