As of 2006 Pluto is no longer considered a planet. Prior to that it was counted as the least massive planet in the solar system.
Order of planets from largest to smallest goes like this: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury and smallest Pluto.
Pluto is smaller in size compared to the other planets in our solar system. It is classified as a dwarf planet, with a diameter that is smaller than Earth's moon. Among the eight recognized planets, Pluto ranks the smallest.
The terms "outer planet" and "inner planet" are only used for planets. Pluto is not a planet, and it orbits beyond the outer planets.
Earth is a fairly small planet. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, as there are literally billions of billions of planets.
No. Its the third. I'm not sure of the reason on some old solar system charts that the Earth is in orbit number four around the sun. On the old charts there are three planets circling the sun, then the Earth. These charts date back to the 1600's and were at first inacurate. Let me do some research and I will repost to this answer.

No one knows what the 2 biggest planets in the galaxy are, but in our Solar system, the two biggest planets are Jupiter and Saturn in terms of diameter. The answer is different if you are talking about size in terms of density or mass. Saturn is extremely light and has a low mass, for example, and if you could stand on Saturn's surface (impossible), you would weigh 91% of what you weigh on Earth. In fact, if you had a large enough swimming pool, the planet Saturn would float in its water! Mercury and Mars are the smallest, assuming that Pluto is not a planet, anymore.
It is the smallest.
Smallest to largest; Mercury (smallest) Mars Venus Earth Neptune Uranus Saturn Jupiter (largest) In terms of volume.
Well, Neptune is a little smaller than Uranus, so that makes Neptune the smallest outer planet!
No. Pluto is considered a "dwarf planet" and in terms of composition is more like a comet than an asteroid.

Mercury is the smallest planet in terms of diameter among the options provided.
