Why is EARTH PIN longest and thickest ?

Electrical engineering based reason - More the thickness of wire/ conductor less is the resistance. A thick Earth Pin provides a less resistance path for the current to be grounded.

Safety based reason - Somehow this longest pin is connected properly in the electrical system than other pin (phase & neutral) and ensures safe to pass the leakage current through this earth pin rather than a person operating an applice.
