Which statement about relative astronomical size is correct? (25 Points) A. The diameter of Earth is bigger than the diameter of the Sun. B.  Solar System is bigger than the Milky Way galaxy. C. Asteroids are larger than comets in our Solar System. D. The orbit of our Moon is smaller than the dwarf planet Pluto.​

Respuesta :

Given what we know, we can confirm that among the options given, option C which states that "Asteroids are larger than comets in our Solar System" is the most correct option.

Why is C the most appropriate answer?

  • Option A is completely incorrect given that the Sun's diameter is 109 times greater than the Earth's.
  • The Milky Way is the galaxy we live in, and our solar system is only one of the billions that it contains.
  • The moon itself is larger than the dwarf planet pluto, meaning that its orbit is even more so.
  • Finally, option C can be correct at times given that there are asteroids that are larger than the comets in our solar system.
  • However, comets and asteroids are defined by composition mostly, and not by size, therefore, even this option is not always correct.

Therefore, given the erroneous comparison of the other options and the sometimes true nature of option C, we can consider this the most appropriate answer given that it is at times correct.
