Bb clarinet is really 26&3/8ths in length from tip of mouthpiece to bottom of bell.

Further one should specify what general key the clarinet is in, when and where it was made, and whether it has bottom range extension, before answering this question.
What clarinet in a?
The most common clarinet is pitched in Bb. There are also clarinets pitched one half step lower, in A. "A" clarinets are used primarily in orchestras, while Bb clarinets are used in orchestras, bands and many other ensembles. Mozart's Clarinet Concerto was written for clarinet in A.
What kind of clarinets are in the orchestra?
Always: Bb soprano clarinets and Bass clarinets, sometimes: Soprano A and Eb clarinets, very rarely: other varieties of clarinet (piccolo clarinet, basset horn, basset clarinet, contra alto/contrabass, alto clarinet, etc.)Bb soprano clarinets (the common clarinet) and bass clarinets are always used in orchestras and bands. Orchestra music (bands not as commonly, but still sometimes) frequently call for soprano A and soprano Eb clarinets, so usually Bb players learn an alternate clarinet and play it when they're not playing the normal Bb part. Other kinds of clarinets, such as basset clarinet, tenor clarinet, and basset horn, are rarely used (not never used, just not nearly as commonly.) Alto clarinets are used much more frequently in bands than in orchestras.

Why is a clarinet in b flat key?
The Bb Clarinet is the most common type of clarinet. The Bb shows that the clarinet is tuned to that note, just like an Eb clarinet is tuned to an Eb. If a Bb clarinet and a flute both play an "A" the notes will sound different, because they are tuned to different notes. In order to make the notes sound the same, the Bb Clarinet must play a semitone up, which is a "Bb".
What is the difference between the C B A and the G clarinet?
In an orchestra, the "normal key" is C. So, if you are playing a C note on a C clarinet it will sound as a C. On a B(B flat) clarinet, when you play C it will sound B flat. On an A clarinet a C will sound as if A was played and consequently on a G clarinet a C will sound as a G. So for the clarinets B, A and G, music needs to be transposed (changed), so that we play the correct notes. This is done so we can switch between different clarinets. Otherwise we would need to learn different fingerings for all the different clarinets. The C clarinet is not transposed and we play it as it is. I hope this makes sense... :)
What is the rage of clarinets?
Im thinking you meant to say range, so the range of clarinets (atleast the Bb (B Flat) clarinet) is from the E and octave below and e that's on the bottom line on the staff .... to well, the highest note i can play is an A that is an octave above the a that is a line above the staff. Basically really low to REALLY high...
