Baron Cohen · Answer 1

1. Main-sequence star of spectral type A

2. Jupiter

3. A one-solar-mass white dwarf

4. The Moon

5. A two-solar-mass neutron star

6. The event horizon of a two-solar-mass black hole.

Explanation:

This astronomical objects are ranked is based on their diameter and they are ranked from the largest diameter to the smallest diameter.

Main-sequence star of spectral type A has the largest diameter.

While the event horizon of a two-solar-mass black hole has the smallest diameter.
