Is earth the fifth smallest planet?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No. Earth is actually the fifth-largest planet in the solar system. The smallest known planet in our solar system is Orcus, a dwarf planet in the inner ring of the Kuiper Belt. The smallest non-dwarf planet is Mercury.

Answer 3

Yes, if you take Pluto out of the mix.

In order of size from largest to smallest, the list looks like this:

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Pluto if you include it as a planet.

Answer 4

No. All four gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are both larger and more massive than earth. Earth is, therefore, the FIFTH largest planet in our solar system. It is the THIRD most distant planet from the sun.

Answer 5

In terms of mass it is the fourth smallest planet in the solar system.

Answer 6

Well it would be but since Pluto is no longer a planet it is the fourth smallest planet

Answer 7

No, Earth is actually the fifth largest planet in our solar system. It is smaller than Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, but larger than Mercury, Venus, and Mars.

Answer 8

no uranus is the 4th biggest planet
