Mercury
B
Neptune
C
Jupiter
D
Mars
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter’s stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium.

Detailed explanation-2: -But despite Venus being much smaller – Jupiter’s diameter is a whopping 140, 000 kilometres, more than 10 times that of Venus, at about 12, 000 kilometres across – it will appear bigger and brighter than Jupiter. That’s partly because it is much closer to us, and partly down to reflectivity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The smallest planet in our solar system is Mercury and the largest planet is Jupiter.
