How can you classify the size of the planets in the solar system?
The planets are normally classified in size by their equatorial diameter.
What is the smallest known dwarf planet?
Ceres is is the smallest of the five dwarf planets currently recognised. Its equatorial diameter is 974.6km and it is orbit around our sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What are small planets and what are large planets?
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.
Why are the planets arranged the way they are?
They just are. Theres nothing you can do about it.
What is the diameter of Venus?
The diameter of Venus is about 12103.6 kilometers or 7520.8 miles. The very slow (clockwise) spin of the planet means that there is no appreciable equatorial "bulge" as is created on Earth and the other planets. The radius of the planet is relatively uniform at approximately 3760 miles. (see related question)

What planet has a diameter of 142800 kilometers?
No planet in the solar system has that diameter. The smallest planet, Mercury has a diameter of 4,879.4Km Have you mixed up diameter with radius? If so, Mars is the closest with a radius of 3,396.2km.
What is the smallest known dwarf planet?
Ceres is is the smallest of the five dwarf planets currently recognised. Its equatorial diameter is 974.6km and it is orbit around our sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the combined diameter of all the inner planets?
the combined diameter of the inner planets is 22,690 miles, or 26% the diameter of Jupiter.
What is the combined diameter of all the outer planets?
the combined diameter of all the outer planets is 363,546 kilometers, or 84% the diameter of the sun.
What are small planets and what are large planets?
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.
Circumference of Jupiter?
Equatorial Circumference Metric: 439,263.8 km - English: 279,118 miles http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/compchart.cfm?Object1=Jupiter Diameter Metric: 142,984 km - English: 88,846 miles http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/index.html

What does Jupiter have in common with the sun that the terrestrial planets don't?
Jupiter consists of hydrogen and helium (primarily) like the Sun. It has a host of satellites in orbit around its equatorial plane. The sun has natural satellites (planets) that orbit its equatorial plane.
What is the exact size of planet Mercury?
Mercury has a very slow spin or rotation about its axis. This means that it is much closer to a spherical shape rather than a flattened or squashed (oblate) sphere like those planets with a much faster rotational spin. This means that The pole to pole diameter is similar to the equatorial diameter. Mercury's diameter is 4879.4km (3031.9 miles).
