In this paper, we study all possible orders which are less than 1 of transcendental entire solutions of linear difference equations \begin{equation} P_m(z)Δ^mf(z)+\cdots+P_1(z)Δf(z)+P_0(z)f(z)=0,\tag{+} \end{equation} where $P_j(z)$ are polynomials for $j=0,\ldots,m$. Firstly, we give the condition on existence of transcendental entire solutions of order less than 1 of difference equations (+). Secondly, we give a list of all possible orders which are less than 1 of transcendental entire solutions of difference equations (+). Moreover, the maximum number of distinct orders which are less than 1 of transcendental entire solutions of difference equations (+) are shown. In addition, for any given rational number $0<ρ<1$, we can construct a linear difference equation with polynomial coefficients which has a transcendental entire solution of order $ρ$. At least, some examples are illustrated for our main theorems.
