and Venus yes?  Isn't Venus very close in size?

from there I am not sure, next in size - Mars, Mercury?  Ha no, I think
Callisto or Ganymede is bigger than Mercury?

Then we are easily in the Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, Io, Titan, ..
Tethys?, Rhea, Mimas, Charon, Pluto (and that one kupier object possibly
bigger than Pluto...)  range..   I haven't thought about this much, the
ranking of planet sizes in this "mid-range".

Think I'm missing a large moon of Saturn or two..

well, back to work, good mid-day astronomy diversion from work though...
