There are two such planets: Venus and Earth.
The small planets are the ones smaller than 8000 miles in diameter. The large planets are the large ones larger than 30,000 miles in diameter.
No planet is smaller than Neptune, but larger than Earth in diameter, but Uranus is there in mass. Uranus, even though larger, is less massive than Neptune. Neptune is a giant planet, but not as large as we believe. It is just 3 or 4 times larger than Earth in diameter, but is 16 times massive. Even Uranus is just 13 times. Jupiter and Saturn are much much bigger than all these planets.
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are much larger than earth. Venus (slightly), Mars (by half) and Mercury are smaller than earth.

All of the planets larger than Earth have several moons.Mercury and Venus are the only planets for which no satelliteshave been discovered.
Earth's moon is very large in proportion to its planet. It is just over one quarter of Earth's diameter. While several moons in the solar system are larger than our moon, they orbit much larger planets.

The Earth is a bit larger than 7900 miles in diameter.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all larger than Earth.
Venus, a terrestrial planet, is small compared to the gas giants within our solar system. It's diameter is equal to 12,104km, which is larger than the diameter of Mercury and Mars, but smaller than all other planets (including Earth, which has a diameter of 12,756km).
Earth's diameter at the equator is 12,756.1 kilometers or 7,926.28 miles. Sun's diameter at the equator is 1.392 million kilometers or 864,900 miles. The diameter of the Sun is 109 times larger than the diameter of the Earth.
