It's a small world! (6,7)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

5,6

5* 6,7

'it's a small world' is the definition.

'small world' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 'minor' (synonyms).
'world' becomes 'planet' (a planet is a world).
'minor'+'planet'='MINOR PLANET'

(Other definitions for minor planet that I've seen before include "rock from space" , "Old name for asteroid - Pluto?" , "Ceres, say" , "small world!" .)
