Mercury has a diameter of 4,879km and a mass of 0.330x1024kg. This is 1/18 the mass and 1/3 the diameter of Earth. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Mercury is the smallest - at least now that Pluto has been demoted from planetary status.

∙ 15y agoDear questioner, It is extremely small to all other planets in the solar system, excluding Pluto who was just given the boot! It is very close to the sun and it has NO atmsphere, so it has one extremely hot side and one extremely cold side, depending on its position. Comparing its size, I would say it is VERY VERY small. If you put it next to the sun, you wouldn't be able to see it on a scale map very easily. I hope this was helpful to you. If not, e-mail me at RichieDude93@hotmail.com Sincerely, Richie Stafford

Describe Pluto's size as compared to the other planets.?
Pluto is about half the size of Mercury, which is the smallest "true" planet.
Does earth have strong or weak gravity?
Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.
Is the moon the same size as moons of the other terrestrial planets?
No. The Moon is large compared to Earth. Almost all other moons are much smaller relative to the planets they orbit.
Compared to the size of the earth the Jovian planets are?
The Jovian planets are all much larger than Earth. See related link for a size comparison
Does the size of a planet has any impact on the eccentricity of a planets orbit?
