The planet that shrank in diameter is Mercury. Its diameter decreased as its core cooled and contracted, causing its surface to wrinkle and form scarps.
Pluto was considered the ninth planet in our solar system but was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. This change was partially due to new astronomical understandings and measurements that revealed Pluto's diameter to be smaller than initially thought.
The largest planet in the solar system is Jupiter, with a diameter 11.209 times that of the Earth

No planet in the solar system has that diameter. The smallest planet, Mercury has a diameter of 4,879.4Km Have you mixed up diameter with radius? If so, Mars is the closest with a radius of 3,396.2km.

The planet Uranus.
The planet you are referring to is Jupiter, which has a diameter of approximately 86,881 miles. Mercury has a diameter of about 3,032 miles, Venus has a diameter of about 7,521 miles, Earth has a diameter of about 7,917 miles, and Mars has a diameter of about 4,212 miles.
the Jupiter diameter is 142,984km
Jupiter is the largest with the largest diameter.
"Shrank" is not an animal at all.
Uranus is third largest. Diameter = 51115km, about 8 times that of Earths diameter.
Mercury is the smallest planet, so there isn't one with half the diameter.
