Shorter: less resistance in proportion, so 1/2 length, half resistance, 1/3 length, 1/3 resisttance, etc.
Thicker, less resistance in inverse-squared proportion, (it's the *area* that influences resistance), so 2 x diameter, 1/4 resistance, 3 x diamater, 1/9 resistance, etc.
Try this: 1/2 length, 3 x diameter, gives 1/2 x 1/9 = 1/18 the resistance.
If you increase the length of a wire while keeping the volume constant, the wire's thickness will decrease proportionally. This is because the volume of the wire is distributed over a longer length, resulting in a thinner wire.
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.
Wire is not equal to resistance. If you have two pieces of wire with the same thickness, composition, and temperature, the longer piece has higher electrical resistance.
You can use a micrometer to measure the diameter of the wire. You can also consult the wire's datasheet or product specifications for information on its thickness. Another option is to use a wire gauge tool to determine the wire's thickness based on its gauge number.

aprox 10% of the diameter of the wire
A thicker wire has less resistance than a thinner wire.
A thickness of wire or metal.
The answer depends on the material and thickness of the wire.
GAUGE IS THICKNESS THE SMALLER THE # THE THICKER 2- THICK 22- THIN
If you are referring to wire thickness according to American Wire Gauge, 12.6 mil or 321 microns.
Wire thickness is called gauge. This term refers to the measurement of the wire's diameter or thickness, typically expressed as a numerical value. Thinner wires have higher gauge numbers, while thicker wires have lower gauge numbers.
