To arrange the given planets in increasing order of their size (diameter), we need to know their relative sizes. The approximate diameters relative to Earth’s diameter are: Mercury (~0.38), Mars (~0.53), Venus (~0.95), Earth (1.00), Uranus (~4.0). Arranging these values in increasing order gives the sequence: Mercury < Mars < Venus < Earth < Uranus.

The sequence of planets from the Sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Their sizes vary, with the inner terrestrial planets being smaller than the outer gas/ice giants.

The largest planets in our solar system are Jupiter and Saturn, followed by Uranus and Neptune. The smallest planets are Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth, in increasing order of size.
