As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.

The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
No, using the AWG system of measuring wire sizes the smaller the wire numbers go the larger the wire size becomes. Hence the number 14 is smaller that the number 16 so it is largest in size of the two wires.
The ambient insulation rating of wires and cables is imprinted on the wire and cables. The labels on the cables will tell you the wire size, number of conductors and temperature rating of the wires and cables. The higher the cable and wire temperature ratings the higher the amount of current that is allowed to be drawn by the wire and cable according to the electrical code book.
On the wire itself? It'll have the type of wire as well as the size and maybe the manufacturer part number.
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
24 meters
Wire size 0000 AWG is the largest electrical wire. It is 0.46 inches in diameter or 11.86 mm in diameter. The cross sectional area is 107.16 mm(squared).
Use AWG #6 wire.
1 mm2
The general correlation is the lower the gauge number, the heavier the wire diameter gets. For specifics, see related link.

see American Wire Gauge. The larger the number the small the wire size.
