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.
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.
No, not all planets revolve around their axes. Some planets like Venus have a very slow rotation, while others like Jupiter rotate more quickly. The rate at which a planet spins on its axis can vary depending on its size, composition, and distance from the sun.
The velocity of a planet around the sun is inversely related to the distance from the sun. So the slowest planets are the ones farthest out. If you consider Pluto a planet, it takes the longest time to revolve around the sun. If you do not consider Pluto a planet, then Neptune would be the farthest planet from the sun and takes the longest time to revolve around the sun.

Observations of the movement of celestial bodies in the sky led astronomers to believe that there were other planets. The irregular patterns of wandering stars, now known as planets, stood out from the fixed positions of the stars, suggesting that there were other objects orbiting the sun.
It is the fourth largest.
Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets, and the largest body in the solar system except for the Sun itself.
90th
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).
Mars rotates in about 24 hours 37 minutes. That's about 24.5 hours.
Earth rates third of the planets because of its thrid place in size.
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
Saturn is second largest, next to Jupiter.

the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) all have rocky solid surfaces. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) all have gaseous atmospheres and liquid surfaces. Pluto is very dense and has a rocky surface.
