No, just about the same.
I seem to recall reading that Mars is the size of Africa. Looks significantly bigger on that map, though.

I am not sure Africa is big enough on that map, even if bigger than usual.

So the gas giants have no surface at all?

It is, but not by much - 90% Earth's surface area.

But I'm told Pluto is not a planet anymore because there's 1000's of these that are larger or about the same size. So the etc would have to be 1000x larger than pluto, and there isn't one that big.

The continents of Earth are surrounded by the solid surface of Earth.

Wait. That wasn't too clear. The continents of Earth are within the solid surface of Earth.
