Venus, with a diameter of 12,103.60 KM is slightly smaller than Earth (12,756.30 KM), so it is the sixth largest.
The first planet seen by Galileo? I would imagine Venus (not counting Earth of course), it is the most visible one as the morning or evening star. If you mean the planet that Galileo was the first to see, then the answer is Neptune.
Jupiter's mass is 318.151373074 times that of Earth, and has a diameter 2.886699507 greater than Neptunes.
Uranus's Diameter (51,118.00 KM) is 7.523991757 times that of Mars (6,794.00 KM)
Olympus Mons on Mars is the tallest discovered volcano in the solar system. . .

from largest to smaller
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Venus, Earth.
I would say Earth unless I forgot one.
1. Neptune but quote from wikipedia
"Galileo's astronomical drawings show that he had first observed Neptune on December 28, 1612, and again on January 27, 1613; on both occasions, Galileo had mistaken Neptune for a fixed star when it appeared very close (in conjunction) to Jupiter in the night sky. Believing it to be a fixed star, he cannot be credited with its discovery"
