By mass, it's 5th among the planets, 6th if you include the sun also. By volume gives the same result as by mass. By density, it's actually number 1 again.

How does Venus rate among planets in terms of size?
Venus is the third largest planet of the eight planets in the solar system when ranked by size. While, the Earth is fourth on this list, Mercury is the smallest. Comparing the radii sizes of Venus of 6,052 km and the Earth's at 6,371 km, Venus is 95 percent the size of the Earth.
How many planets are there today?
In our solar system, there are eight recognized planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus. The total number of planets outside of our solar system can only be hypothesized, but evidences of new planets are being discovered at an ever increasing rate.
Do all planets rotate on their axes at the same rate?
No. Each planet spins at a rate determined by its mass and interactions with the gravity of the Sun and the other planets. This rotational speed may have changed considerably since the planet formed. The large gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) spin much faster than Earth, at least as far as can be determined from their exterior cloud layers. Saturn, especially, has a faster rotation speed at its equator than at its poles.
Earth's rate of revolution is very close to?
Earth's rate of revolution around the sun is very close to 1 degree per day.
Can other planets have eclipses?
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

How does Uranus rate among planets in terms of mass?
It is the fourth largest.
How does earth rate in terms of size to the other planets?
Earth rates third of the planets because of its thrid place in size.
How does it rate in terms of the other planets in terms of size is it the biggest or the smallest?
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
How does Jupiter rate among the planets in terms of size?
Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets, and the largest body in the solar system except for the Sun itself.
How does earth rate in terms of the other planets in term of size is it the biggest or the smallest?
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
How does the dwarf planet Pluto rate among planets in terms of size?
Pluto is smaller than the eight major planets. It is the second-largest "dwarf planet" in the solar system (only Eris appears to be larger).
How does saturns mass rate in terms of the other planets?
90th
How does Neptune rate in terms of other planets in terms of sizes?
neptune is really big
Why do planets have different day lenghts?
Because not all planets rotate at the same rate that Earth does.
How does Saturn rate in terms of the other planets in terms of size.So is Saturn the biggest or the smallest?
Saturn is second largest, next to Jupiter.
Why are some planets days longer then a earth day?
They spin at a different rate on their axis than the Earth does on its axis.
How does Venus rate among planets in terms of size?
Venus is the third largest planet of the eight planets in the solar system when ranked by size. While, the Earth is fourth on this list, Mercury is the smallest. Comparing the radii sizes of Venus of 6,052 km and the Earth's at 6,371 km, Venus is 95 percent the size of the Earth.
