Based on observing Mercury and comparing Mercury with Earth, it is inferred that Mercury has a large core that is rich in iron. Planetary geologists estimate that the core of Mercury is about 42% of the planet's total volume. Data from research performed by these geologists strongly suggests that the planet has a molten core. Mercury's core has a higher iron content than the core of any other major planet in the solar system.
