Pluto was the smallest, until it was decided that it is too small to be a planet or something like that. The biggest planet is Jupiter.

jupiter is the largest known planet in the solar system.

TrES-4 is the biggest planet found in terms of diameter having a diameter of 1.674 times the diameter of jupiter however is only 84% of its mass and so is the least dense planet known

i'm not sure which planet is the most massive in terms of mass or density.

densest gas giant planet i know of is HD 149026b which is exceptionally dense for a gas giant
although it is only 36% of jupiter's size, it is 73% of its mass i think.
its density also accounts for it being the hottest known planet with a surface temperature of 2000+degrees celcius/3700degrees farenheit.
it is believed to be blacker than the blackest charcoal you've seen because of its heat.
it is believed to have possibly the largest core amongst known planets with a core of 70-90 earth masses whereas jupiter's core is only believed to be 12 earth masses.

i'm not sure of the largest rocky planet ever found is although i recall reading somewhere 4 times earth's mass being the largest found or largest possible size for a rocky planet to be stable. earth is the largest known rocky planet in the solar system.

it is not pluto, it used to be classed as the smallest planet in the solar system but now it is classed as a sub-planet and is not classed a planet anymore.

You could fit all the other planets inside of Jupiter if it was empty. Also, I read an article where the state of California still recognizes Pluto as a planet, they voted on it in their state house and senate....if the article was correct and if I read it correctly.

Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. Which sucks. Jupiter is the largest planet

jupiter. you could fit a thousand earths inside it...

and just to show how big the sun is, you could fit over 900 jupiters inside the sun. in fact the sun so overwhelmingly dominates our solar system that it contains 99.9 percent of all the mass in the solar system. the remaining 0.1 percent make up ALL the other planets and their moons, including jupiter!

poor old pluto...
