Cartoon planet size destruction value?

Basically the title. How do you calculate planets (for this question, specifically the ones in our solar system) destruction value/size when the planets are shrunken down purely for art style reasons. Do we simply just use the same value as the regular sized planet or do we calculate new sizes for the planets?
Also what about limbs, would they add anything for the destruction value?
 
When people grab the sun or moon as a gag and it is much smaller than normal, we usually avoid comparing to the size of the actual sun or moon and instead downscale the size. I think similar policies for grabbing other planets. Though launching something that nukes a background planet, I'm not sure

In this specific case, they are getting up to the Sun, Jupiter and other planets and just fighting and killing them, not grabbing
 
I'm pretty sure that it depends on how the cartoon usually portrays their size on a consistent basis. Usually, it's pretty common for animators to either have the planets/other celestial bodies shrunken down just so we could see the characters or vice-versa, hence why the sizes can be inconsistent. However, if you do have statements of a celestial body's size being truly the size it should be or the cartoon never gives any story reason as to why it's shrunken down (IE. A moon being only tens of meters in diameter in one scene but is consistently shown to be visible enough to be seen from space when outside Earth to show it's thousands of kilometers in diameter), you can use the usual size.
