The largest planet in the Solar System is Jupiter which is 1,321.3 times the volume of the Earth.
The next largest to Earth would be Neptune - although it's significantly larger, almost 4 times the diameter and could squeeze almost 58 Earths inside it. Overall, the second largest planet in our solar system would be Saturn.
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
there are more planets than stars because to every star there could have several planets
There are four small inner planets and four large outer planets, with 8 planets in total. Pluto, along with the other dwarf planets are not part of this eight, so it could be this were talking about here - but Pluto is no longer considered a planet.

The planet closest (proximity) to the Moon is planet Earth; the eighth largest planet in the solar system is Mercury (i.e., Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets). Mercury had some resemblance to the moon, having a dry, cratered surface with (almost) no atmosphere, so in that sense it could be argued as being the closest in the sense of physical appearance.
The moons of the big planets can go into eclipse when they are in the shadow of their planet.
All planets are affected by the gravity of other planets.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar System so any of the other planets could fit inside a volume the size of Jupiter, some of them many times over.
All planets other than Earth could be considered alien. Earth is the only planet known to harbor life.

I'm thinking one of the gaseous planets, but I could be wrong.
