Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.
There are eight planets and five dwarf planets in our solar system.
The Sun is the largest object in our solar system, comprising about 99.8% of its total mass. By comparison, all the other objects in our solar system, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, make up only about 0.2% of the solar system's mass.
The solar system is found between the orbits of two planets, with the innermost known planet being Mercury and the outermost known planet being Neptune. The solar system also consists of other celestial bodies such as dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.
Yes, there are many other objects in the solar system besides planets. Some of these include moons, asteroids, comets, dwarf planets, and Kuiper Belt objects. Each of these objects plays a unique role in shaping the dynamics of our solar system.

There are eight planets and five dwarf planets in our solar system.
Pluto is a lot smaller than other planets in out solar system. This was not noticeable in earlier years because there wasn't the technology to very accurately compare it to other planets. Because of it's small size Pluto was determined a dwarf.
Other planets other than earth is put in the solar system for humans to explore and do researches on them.
No, the planets after Pluto are still within our solar system. After Pluto, there is Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and several other dwarf planets and minor planets that are part of our solar system. Beyond these, there is the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud which are also part of our solar system.
Planets outside our solar system are called exoplanets. Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered orbiting other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. They come in a variety of sizes and compositions, and many are quite different from the planets in our own solar system.
They could, but as of now, no astronauts have travelled to any other planets in the solar system.
The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.
Actually, there are 18 known planets in our solar system, as well as two known protoplanets. For a complete list of objects in the solar system, see the related links.

Planets have no purpose. They just "are".
Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star outside of our solar system, while other planets refer to those within our solar system, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Exoplanets are located in other star systems, light-years away from Earth, and have different characteristics compared to the planets within our solar system.
