Mercury is the smallest actual planet of the eight comprising the solar system. It is actually smaller (but more massive) than the moons Ganymede and Titan. Mercury has about 5.5% of the mass of Earth.
Before 24 August 2006, Pluto considered the smallest planet of our solar system. On that date, the IAU modified the definition of "planet" and Pluto no longer qualified. It was reclassified as a "dwarf planet." There are a number of smaller objects, including dwarf planets, asteroids, and Kuiper Belt objects (past the orbit of Neptune).
