Well there you go.
I figured there was the lawyering route by the phrase "Solar System could fit" to use orbital variations as wiggle room.
But it's not even needed.

Yet no one gives a shite about Jupiter, Uranus, or Neptune's rings.
Ignoring the rings around Uranus may come back to bite you in the arse.

The OP also says: every planet (not every other planet)
So earth technically needs to be included as well.
Yeah i am bored on this lazy sunday. Putting off yard work

Still correct if you want to take the technical reading of title and include Earth

Jupiter's famous red spot is so big the entire Earth could fit under it, so it's not going to fit between the Earth and Moon.
IM not sayng this thread is correct or not, but this logic is comically stupid.
Because Jupiter is big it wouldnt fit between the Earth and Moon?

Diameter of each planet (km) not including earth
Do the diameters you posted include the rings of other planets? If they were included then yeah it wouldn't fit. The planets themselves though would fit.

I bet the eye, the storm on Jupiter that is the size of the earth, is probably epic.

I read that if the earth was a basketball resting on the 3 pt line, the moon would be a tennis ball sitting on the rim.
Not sure how how exact those proportions are but it's a way to visualize the distance

One of the most common misconceptions people have about space is that the moon is much closer to earth than it actually is. Although you can't blame them, all of the textbooks make it seem closer so they can fit it on the page.
Another big one is the "zero gravity" in space stations orbiting the earth. Most people think that they don't experience gravity because they are so far from the earth but in reality it's because they are in a state of constant free fall. They're nowhere close to being outside of earth's gravitational pull
