Titan is about 40% the size of the planet Earth, and is the 10th largest object in the solar system.

Going from memory here...

Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus/Neptune (don't recall which order those two belong in), Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, then finally Titan.

I'll look it up in a moment, but I wanted to post off the top of my head.

Ah! I was a little off. Ganymede and Titan are BOTH larger than tiny little Mercury.
