Can we distinguish between the heavenly ranks?

The answer

Among the nine heavenly ranks we find many common features that make it difficult to distinguish them, especially since spiritual beings do not have a physical body like ours. They are also beyond our minds. They all enjoy the divine presence, and the shining of the divine light upon them. They all participate in a heavenly chorus that praises and glorifies God in a splendid way.
