The proton CHARGE has an impact (if the proton's charge were different, the atom's size would be different). However, the proton SIZE is more or less irrelevant. The increase in size of the atom due to the proton is very very negligible.
It has been proven that the density of the Nucleus is constant in all atoms of all elements. This means, the nucleus does increase in size, if there are more protons.
However, The majority of the size of an atom comes from the electron orbits. Thus the main factor for atom size is electron orbits.

What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The size of a proton in a beryllium atom is approximately 1.68 femtometers (fm) in radius. The radius of a proton is a fundamental constant and remains consistent regardless of its location within an atom.
How much bigger is a hydrogen atom than a proton?
A hydrogen atom is about 100,000 times larger in diameter compared to just a proton. This is because a hydrogen atom consists of a proton at its center with an electron cloud surrounding it, extending the size of the atom.
What particles in the atom are similar in size?
The dimensions of a proton is approximately similar to that of a neutron.
What is the size order for these scientific particles Proton Neutron Atom Electron Nucleus?
IIRC Atoms (contains Protons/Neutrons and electrons) Nucleus contains Protons and Nuetrons Proton atomic size 1 Nuetron atomic size 1 electron atomic size 1/1836 i.e the proton is 1836 bigger than the electron
What is the size of an atom versus an electron?
An atom is much larger in size compared to an electron. An atom consists of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons surrounded by orbiting electrons. Electrons are subatomic particles that are about 1/1800 the size of a proton or neutron.
Is an electron bigger than a proton?
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.

If the electron in a hydrogen atom were the size and weight of a golf ball what would be the size and weight of the proton and neutron and what would be the orbital diameters of the electron and neutr?
If the electron were the size of a golf ball, the proton would be about the size of a basketball and the electron would be orbiting about 8000 meters away (assuming the Bohr model of the atom).
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
Where is the proton in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
Which is smallest in size - atom or electron?
An electron is much smaller in size than an atom. An atom consists of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. The size of an electron is much smaller compared to the entire atom.
How big is a proton compared to an electron?
A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.
