It's not... Mercury is smaller than Earth.
Mercury is much smaller than earth.
Mercury's diameter is about a third that of Earth.
Earth's volume is 17.8 times the volume of Mercury.
There are 8 planets Mercury (smaller than Earth) Venus (smaller than Earth) Earth Mars (smaller than Earth) Jupiter (bigger than Earth) Saturn (bigger than Earth) Uranus (bigger than Earth) Neptune (bigger than Earth) so 3 smaller & 4 bigger than Earth 37.5% smaller than Earth 50% bigger than Earth
Yes, the Earth is bigger than Mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system (not counting Pluto, which is not considered a true planet anymore). Mercury is 38% (a little more than 1/3) the size of Earth.

Both Earth's moon and Mercury are larger than Pluto yet smaller than Mars.
Not even close to it. The sun is about 864938 miles in diameter, while Mercury is only about 3032 miles in diameter. Actually, Mercury is not much larger than Earths moon. If you mean Mercury as in the plant, then no. The sun is the biggest thing in are solar system.
Mars, because Mercury is the smallest planet we have now either than pluto when it used to be a planet. Hope this helped! Caleigh (kay-lee)
Mercury has a mass of 0.33x1024kg, and Earth has a mass of 5.97x1024kg. Thus, Mercury has a smaller mass than earth (or, in other words, Earth has a mass that's about 18x greater than that of Mercury).
Mercury is smaller than earth.
