Okay, there are two problems with your question. Firstly, define space. Like, do you mean our solar system, galaxy or the universe in general? Secondly, do you consider Pluto a planet anymore?
If you're just talking about the solar system, no. The second smallest planet in our solar system is Mars. This does not include Pluto. The size order of all the planets is: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mercury and then Pluto (if you still consider it a planet).
Our galaxy is huge and could contain millions of other planets ranging in size from the size of a pea to the size of a small star. The definition of a planet is spherical object which orbits around a star.
Even though our galaxy is huge, there are millions of billions of other galaxies out there, many bigger than ours, so there is no chance that out planet is the second smallest in the universe.
What else can I help you with?
Is mercury the smallest planet in space?
One cannot say for sure if it is the smallest planet in space, but it is the smallest planet in our Solar System.
Who is Venus neighbor?
Earth is Venus' neighbor in our solar system. It is the second planet from the Sun, and Earth is the third planet from the Sun, making them relatively close to each other in space.
Is mercury a tiny cratered planet?
Mercury has a great many craters and is the smallest planet in the solar system, its diameter being about 38 percent of the diameter of Earth but more than double the diameter of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Are we technically living in space since earth is a planet?
Yes, technically we are living in space since Earth is a planet that exists in outer space. Space is the vast expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere, where celestial bodies like planets, stars, and galaxies are located. So, living on Earth means we are residing in the vastness of space.
Why is the earth called 'blue planet?
Earth is called the "blue planet" because when viewed from space, the planet appears to be predominantly blue due to its abundant water bodies like oceans and seas. Water reflects sunlight and the Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight in a way that makes the planet appear blue from outer space.
What is the smallest planet in space?
That depends where you are in space. If you are near Earth, maybe Pluto. If you are near Pluto, maybe Mercury.

What is the third planet in space?

Could you land a space shuttle on the planet Jupiter?
No. There are two reasons for this. First, Jupiter is a gas planet, so there is no surface to land on. Second, the space shuttle was made for low Earth orbit, not interplanetary travel.
Is mercury a tiny cratered planet?
Mercury has a great many craters and is the smallest planet in the solar system, its diameter being about 38 percent of the diameter of Earth but more than double the diameter of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Where is Venus in space?

Why do we flot in space and not on earth?
On Earth, the gravity of planet Earth keeps us on the floor.
