The diameter of Mercury is 4,879 km. That's approximately 38% the the diameter of Earth. You could put three Mercury's side by side and they would be a little larger than the Earth . What about surface area? How much room is there to live on the surface of Mercury (who'd want to, of course, it would be incredibly hot). The surface area of Mercury is 75 million square kilometers, which is approximately 10% the surface area on Earth. If you could unwrap Mercury, it would be almost twice the area of Asia (44 million square km). How about volume? The volume of Mercury is 6.1 x 1010 km3. That sounds like a big number, but it's really only 5.4% the volume of Earth. In other words, you could fit 18 objects the size of Mercury inside Earth. Mass? The mass of Mercury is 3.3 x 1023 kg. Again it sounds like a big number, but it's really only 5.5% the mass on Earth.
