Venus is the third largest planet of the eight planets in the solar system when ranked by size. While, the Earth is fourth on this list, Mercury is the smallest. Comparing the radii sizes of Venus of 6,052 km and the Earth's at 6,371 km, Venus is 95 percent the size of the Earth.

How many planets are there today?
In our solar system, there are eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The total number of planets outside of our solar system can only be hypothesized, but evidences of new planets are being discovered at an ever increasing rate.
How does Earth rate among planets in terms of size?
Earth is the largest "terrestrial planet" and 5th largest major planet in the solar system.It is larger than Mercury, Mars, and Venus.Planets in order of size, smallest to largest :MercuryMarsVenusEarthNeptuneUranusSaturnJupiter(see related link)
What made people think that there were other planets?
Because someone who was observing the sky realized that some of the heavenly bodies where moving at a diffrent rate and direction than the rest of the stars.
What planet has the slowest rotation rate?
The velocity of a planet around the sun is inversely related to the distance from the sun. So the slowest planets are the ones farthest out. If you consider Pluto a planet, it takes the longest time to revolve around the sun. If you do not consider Pluto a planet, then Neptune would be the farthest planet from the sun and takes the longest time to revolve around the sun.
Which planet rotates from north to south?
The only planet that spends in the opposite direction from the rest is Venus, but at an incredibly slow rate. It takes something like 248 earth days for it to make one complete rotation (in case it's not clear, our earth makes one complete rotation in 1 earth day). No-one actually knows why Venus spins in this opposite direction but it is very interesting because it must have been an absolutely catastrophic event for something so drastic to have happened. Also, amusingly, it was only quite recently that scientists discovered that it rotates retrograde because the thick layer of clouds covering the surface of the planet are rotating in the opposite direction to that of the planet, and thus the same direction as all the other planets, making it look completely normal to anyone without specialist equipment.
How does Uranus rate among planets in terms of mass?
It is the fourth largest.
How does Jupiter rate among the planets in terms of size?
Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets, and the largest body in the solar system except for the Sun itself.
How does the dwarf planet Pluto rate among planets in terms of size?
Pluto is smaller than the eight major planets. It is the second-largest "dwarf planet" in the solar system (only Eris appears to be larger).
How does saturns mass rate in terms of the other planets?
90th
How does Neptune rate in terms of other planets in terms of sizes?
neptune is really big
How does earth rate in terms of size to the other planets?
Earth rates third of the planets because of its thrid place in size.
How does it rate in terms of the other planets in terms of size is it the biggest or the smallest?
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
How does Saturn rate in terms of the other planets in terms of size.So is Saturn the biggest or the smallest?
Saturn is second largest, next to Jupiter.

How does earth rate in terms of the other planets in term of size is it the biggest or the smallest?
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
How does Mercury rate in terms of the other planets in terms of size?
Mercury is the smallest of the 8 major planets. It is smaller in size than Jupiter's moon Ganymede, or Saturn's moon Titan. But it has a greater mass than those moons due to its higher average density.
How does Neptune rate among planets in terms of size?
Neptune is about 49500 kilometers in diameter. The radius of Neptune is about 15,000 miles or 24,000 km.
