Bb Clarinet is really 26&3/8ths in length
from tip of mouthpiece to bottom of bell.
Anyone who has played , taught or made
clarinets for decades would realize that
there are different pitch standards and bore
dimensions for each generic size. Further one should specify what
general key the clarinet is in, when and where it was made,
and whether it has bottom range extension, before answering this question.

How does the length of a clarinet affect the pitch?
The longer the clarinet the lower the pitch or sound it makes. The shorter the clarinet the higher pitch it makes. The most common clarinet is a Bb (B flat) Clarinet or a bass clarinet which is longer and lower. Another common clarinet is an Eb (E flat) clarinet which makes a higher pitch or sound. As far as i know, they all have the same fingerings. The only difference is your embouchure (how you position your mouth) and the sound/pitch it produces.
Is an Eb clarinet longer than a Bb in length?
I think it's smaller than the Bb Clarinet. At my school "the midget one". Eb, Bb, Ab and bass/contra. ---- Around 17"
Which is bigger clarinet or a flute?
Yes, unless it's a student size bassoon compaired with a bass-oboe
How is the bass clarinet related to the normal clarinet in size and pitch?
The Bb bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the Bb soprano clarinet and so is approximately double the length (following the curves of the neck and bell). Many bass clarinets have additional notes at the bottom of the instrument - some extending to a low C, compared to the the soprano's low Eb. Basses with extended range will be a bit longer - more than double the length of the soprano.
Do all clarinets have the same fingering?
Yes, they do. It is the length of the instrument that determines the pitch differences. For example the bass clarinet sounds an octave lower than the B-flat clarinet; the shorter E-flat soprano clarinet sounds a fifth higher than the B-flat.
