I get this question all the time – almost every day! There are a number of different descriptions for grand pianos and it can become confusing. The thing to keep in mind is that all the terms associated with grand pianos are general terms – different companies have different sizes for pianos so classifying them in general terms is necessary.
For example, Steinway makes a 5’ 1”, 5’ 7”, 5’ 10.5”, and then 6’ 2”. On the other hand, Baldwin pianos manufactured 5’ 2”, 5’ 8”, and 6’ 3”. These sizes are all different and each company has their own unique sizes and scale designs. To classify them in the market we use general terms that can be applied to any brand.
There are a few pianos below 5’ and these are called Petite Baby Grands.

Any piano around 5’ to 5 1/2′ is considered a Baby Grand.
Larger 5’ range pianos, such as 5’ 7” and 5’ 8” are sometimes called Parlor Grands.
Pianos from around 6’ up to around 6’ 9” are called Grand Pianos.
6’ 10” up to around 7 1/2’ are called Semi Concert Grand Pianos.
Baby Grand Piano Weight
The largest pianos are typically 9’ and above and are called Concert Grand Pianos. (Steinway Concert grand is 1” short of 9’)

A Kawai studio model acoustic piano vintage 1980 or so that I have access to where I work has the following key dimensions (visible portion only, if you need the hidden part, which is much larger, let me know):
White key width = exactly 7/8 inch. Assassin's creed origins dlc. Visible length = 6 in., including a 1/16' 'lip' on the top surface that sticks out beyond the end of the key proper. Visible height when not depressed = 7/8 in.
Minimum Room Size For Grand Piano
Black key width at white key level = 15/32' tapering up to 7/16' at the top, which is 1/4 in. above white key level. Length at white key level 3 15/16' tapering back to 3 5/8' at the top.
Horizontally across the width of the keyboard there is approximately 1/16' gap between keys.
When I get home tonight I'll measure my Panasonic 88-note electronic and see if it differs. (For one thing I know it does not have the 'lip' on the white keys.) If it is substantially different from the above I'll post a comment to this answer.
EDIT: Well, I was wrong about the lip on the white keys. My electronic piano has them too! I had never noticed that. The white keys are exactly 1/8 in. shorter in length than on the acoustic, but otherwise identical. The black keys are 1/16 in. wider and 3/16 in. taller, but otherwise identical. So all in all the two pianos are so extremely similar as to be almost identical. Certainly the 88 note keybed (where the notes are placed) is within 1/8' of being exactly the same length. I have no idea what you needed all this for, but have fun with it!
