Uranus is the third-largest planet in our solar system, followed by Earth, and then Mercury (which is the smallest planet). Hence, option A is the correct ordering of sizes from largest to smallest.

B) Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, followed by Earth's moon, which is relatively small compared to other planets and moons. Hence, option B is not the correct ordering of sizes from largest to smallest.

C) Saturn is the second-largest planet in our solar system and is larger than both Pluto and the Moon. Hence, option C is not the correct ordering of sizes from largest to smallest.

D) Earth is larger than Mars, which is in turn larger than Saturn's moon. Hence, option D is not the correct ordering of sizes from largest to smallest.
