The planets, moons and Death Stars seen in the original (theatrical) Star Wars trilogy to scale.
Alderaan, famous for being destroying in A New Hope, is the closest in size to the Earth with a diameter of 12,500 km vs Earth’s 12,742 km average diameter.
Hoth is larger, but still the closest in size to Mars, with a diameter of 7,200 km vs Mars’ 6,779 km.
Endor, the smallest of the bodies to appear in the original trilogy, has a diameter of 4,900 km which makes it very slightly larger than our solar system’s smallest planet, Mercury which has a diameter of 4,879 km.
Of the gas giants seen in Star Wars, Bespin is very similar in size to Saturn (116,464 km average diameter) but is still quite a bit smaller than Jupiter (139,822 km), which in turn is much smaller than Yavin Prime, the largest planet to appear in the original trilogy.

Actually my favorite ice cream
Sag, we know that you love traveling and you’re always looking for the next adventure that comes your way. Coffee ice cream is perfect for you because you can enjoy the same classic flavor all over the world — and it’ll give you the little kick you need to keep going all day long.
