Best Answer

No.

Pluto (now a dwarf planet) is much smaller than Mercury, and considerably less dense, because Pluto (billions of kilometers from the Sun) is partly frozen gases and ice. Pluto's diameter is only about 2306 kilometers, less than half the diameter of Mercury, about 4879.4 kilometers.
