That's very small for a planet!Planets have diameters measured in thousands of kilometers. I think you may have used the wrong number.
Based on classification by size, Uranus is one of the giant planets or gas giants. The other three giants planets are Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. These gas giants all have diameters greater than 48000 kilometers. The other planets four planets are called the small planets. The small planets all have diameters less than 13000 kilometers.
Actually Dwarf planets are planets which are very small in size and cannot be called planets but not as small to be called asteroids, so the name dwarf planets.
Not in our solar system. The inner planets are smaller.

Yes, Jovian planets, which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have larger equatorial diameters compared to terrestrial planets. This is primarily due to their gaseous composition and lower density, allowing them to expand significantly. For instance, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with an equatorial diameter of about 142,984 kilometers. In contrast, terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars have much smaller diameters.
Inner planets (up until Mars): - are mostly composed of dense rocky material with high melting points; - have small diameters; - have high tempeatures; - take few time to make a complete turn around the sun; - have few or no moons; - all have impact cracters; Outer planets: - are mostly composed of gases; - have very large diameters (compared to the inner planets); - have low temperatures; - take a long time to make a complete turn around the sun; - generally have several moons; - no impact craters known (so far since no one as made it to the rocky core of these planets).
No, all chords are not diameters, though all diameters are chords.
if you want to find out please go to the space and use the ruler
Earth and Venus are close in diameter.
The effect is very small.
Dwarf planets are very small and usually have much more elliptical orbits than normal planets.
