Given the same number of carbon atoms, the lengths of the three kinds of compounds are fundamentally the same. Now, on a small scale, the length of the C-C bond gets shorter as you have more bonds. So, the bond length of a C-C bond is longer than a C=C bond of alkenes, and this is longer than the CC triple bond of alkynes.

Alkynes are much more reactive than alkenes, and these are more reactive than alkanes.
