There are three other planets smaller than the Earth; Mercury (smallest), Mars, and Venus (nearly the same size as Earth).

Eris, Ceres, Haumea, and Makemake are all dwarf planets, smaller than our moon. Pluto and Charon are also dwarf planets, even though they have moons.

Of the 8 planets there are no planets that we know of. But of the 9 planets it's Pluto if you still include Pluto as a planet. Of, course there are many planets that we don't know of. Pluto is considered a dwarf planet. For more on dwarf planets, planets, Mercuary, Pluto, the Solar System, and more visit the links under the answer.

Venus, Mercury, and Mars.

Pluto is not longer categorized as a full planet, but when it was, Earth was bigger than it, too.

It would be Pluto, but it's not a planet anymore. Well, Mercury & Mars are the same size , or about the same size. One might be bigger than the other, but if so, just a little bit.

None of these planets so far is smaller than earth, but that it because planets as tiny as ours are difficult to detect. We expect probably half of all planets would be our size or smaller.
