The planet diameters in the Solar system are:
Mercury 4,878 kilometers (km)
Venus 12,100 km
Earth 12, 742 km
Mars 6,792 km
Jupiter 142,981 km around its equator, and
133,708 km around the north & south poles. Jupiter is made of gas, so its tremendously fast revolution time makes it bulge out around its equator.
Saturn 120,536 km at equator and 108,728 km around poles
Uranus 51,118 km
Neptune 49,500 km
There is a little bulge in Uranus and Neptune, but not really enough to report.
Yes, Jovian planets, which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have larger equatorial diameters compared to terrestrial planets. This is primarily due to their gaseous composition and lower density, allowing them to expand significantly. For instance, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with an equatorial diameter of about 142,984 kilometers. In contrast, terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars have much smaller diameters.
There are 5 rocky planets in our solar system if you count Pluto. If not, there are 4 rocky planets in the solar system.
One way to categorize the solar system's planets?
No, the planets after Pluto are still within our solar system. After Pluto, there is Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and several other dwarf planets and minor planets that are part of our solar system. Beyond these, there is the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud which are also part of our solar system.
there are nine planets in the solar system if we add Pluto.
Not in our solar system. The inner planets are smaller.

Extra solar planets are planets that is outside of our solar system.

There are eight planets and five dwarf planets in our solar system.
Us & Venus. Gotta love those Venusians.
No two planets within our solar system have the same exact size. However, Earth and Venus are quite close - their diameters differ by only 652km.
