You could have Luna (The Moon) for the letter L.

Maybe you should have the asteroid belt as a bonus.

ajaxhami: there are bonus answers for all of the omitted letters (some of them are asteroids and the rest less known moons)

i think the asteroid belt should actually replace ariel, after all it is in our solar system.

Could you add a third column for size of the object? That would be great.

Yeah, the asteroid belt is comprised of many objects, not just one. I agree Ariel is the better choice.

I have added 3rd column listing sizes of the objects. pottedstu: "Xena" would be great. Unfortunately "Eris" is being replaced by Earth in this quiz.

the asteroid belt is a body, as stated in your 'notes' section. This inconsistency with the title confused me, but great quiz anyhow.

The moon's official name is "Luna" and at 1700ish km mean radius, it's a fair bit larger than Lachesis

Really good quiz, I enjoyed it. @deej: No, "Luna" is the Moon's Latin name, but officially in English it is called "the Moon." @JonnyBoy18: The Solar System is in the Milky Way, not the other way around.

JonnyBoy18 meant the Milky Way candy bar. Although they aren't particularly big, they are in the solar system. Mars is probably a hair bigger :)

I love the quiz. Just really annoyed that I can't spell Callisto or Ganymede. I didnt know half these things existed! A real eye opener!

Isn't the Sun's official name Alpha Centauri, which would make it the biggest 'A'? I understand why you don't expect people to know names like Alpha Centauri and Luna, but at the very least, they should be bonus answers.

Clint13, Alpha Centauri is a completely different star about four light-years away from our solar system.

Weywot (the moon of Quoaor) may be bigger than 747 Winchester with a radius of 95±24 km

I was surprised that it was neither Ceres or Charon that were bigger that Callisto. Learn something new every day!

@NoVan - yay! High 5 for me! I rememberd it from the last solar system quiz on here... no idea how, just remembered there were 4 vowels in a row and guessed it right.
