Unless some other world is known and described in the book there is no need to think in terms of any dimension (spatial or time) relative to Earth or any other planet. A planet is large or small based solely on its size relative to that of the characters. A planet the size of the Earth, in absolute terms, would be extremely vast from the viewpoint of individuals the size of a squirrel riding "beasts" the size of a domestic cat.
