Why the diameter of earth pin is greater than phase and neutral in socket?

It is important and necessary to insert the right pins into right, correct hole of the socket. Larger diameter earth pin ensures that even by error pins are not inserted wrongly. It is not only larger in dia but also bit longer in length so that the earth pin makes the first contact with earth point before phase pin makes the contact to ensure safety.

The diameter of Jupiter is how many more times then earths?
The diameter of Jupiter is 142,984km, and the diameter of Earth is 12,756km. This would mean that Jupiter's diameter is 11.2x greater than that of Earth.

When you switch off a 3 pin power socket at the wall is it still earthed?
A properly installed switch for a wall socket will only interupt the 'hot' leg. The earth (or ground) and the neutral will remain connected.
Does earth have more volume than Pluto?
Yes, it does. Earth has a diameter of 12,756km, whereas Pluto has a diameter of 2,390km. Assuming that they are perfect spheres, the Earth has a volume of about 8,694,250,468,781 km^3, and Pluto has a volume of 57,185,025,428 km^3. As such, the Earth has a volume that is more than 152 times greater than that of Pluto.

Can there be 230 volt potential drop in both neutral and live socket practically?
This question is not quite clear but I will try it somehow. The voltage drop between the live and neutral, and live and earth will both be 230v, but the voltage drop between the neutral and earth is almost zero due to the fact that the neutral and earth is basically one conductor split.
