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.

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 relatively larger compared to the moons of other terrestrial planets. It is the fifth largest moon in the solar system, with a diameter about one-quarter that of Earth. Other terrestrial planets, such as Mars and Mercury, have smaller moons in comparison.


Which planets are closest together-the inner or the outer planets?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are closer together compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets have shorter average distances between each other, resulting in a more compact grouping compared to the outer planets.


Compared to the size of the earth the Jovian planets are?

Compared to the size of Earth, the Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are much larger in size. They are called "Jovian" because they are similar in size and composition to Jupiter. Jovian planets are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases and have thick atmospheres, making them significantly bigger than Earth.
