Mezzo-Sopranos are not so few and far between that they are considered a rarity, but it is true to say that most women are sopranos. The most rarely occurring fach classification in women's voices is the Contralto, lower than the Mezzo-Soprano.

I think that mezzo-sopranos slightly have heavier and darker tones than first sopranos. First sopranos usually have high-pitched, squeaky singing voices. Sopranos are more comfortable in their higher tessitura and can sing high notes with ease. Mezzo-sopranos have a range intermediate between that of the soprano and contralto.
No, altos are not the same as mezzo-sopranos. Altos are the lowest voice part, followed by mezzo-soprano. While most of the time they sing harmony to sopranos, they are not the same.
The vocal range above soprano is called "mezzo-soprano." Mezzo-sopranos typically have a richer, darker tone compared to sopranos and can sing a range that often overlaps with both soprano and contralto voices. In choral and operatic contexts, mezzo-sopranos often portray more mature or character-driven roles.
Yes, the soprano is the highest voice range, with the exception of a soprano who can sing higher than a C#6, in which she(he?) is known as a sporanino.
Mezzo soprano is the female voice range that lies between soprano and contralto. Mezzo sopranos tend to have secondary roles in operas, with some notable exceptions.

In choruses there are sopranos, altos, tenors and basses, but in solo voices there are also countertenors, mezzo-sopranos and baritones. From highest female to lowest male they go soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto (alto for short) counter-tenor (a male alto), tenor, baritone and bass.

Mezzo-soprano is higher than alto. In vocal classification, mezzo-sopranos typically sing in a range that lies between the soprano and alto voice types, while altos have a lower vocal range. Mezzos usually possess a richer, fuller sound in the middle range, whereas altos focus on deeper tones.

She is an underdeveloped soprano. Her voice is light like a soprano, but is not developed like a true soprano. Very few women are true contraltos, a good example is Pink. A mezzo-soprano has a "darker" vocal quality, but not the depth of a contralto. Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani are mezzo-sopranos. Vocal type is based on timbre or tone quality, not range. Many sopranos, such as Mariah Carey, have the ability to sing extreme low notes. ---- Because of the excessive use of autotune, you will never know. Allow me to fix some of this yes P!nk is an alto but so is Mariah.
