Neither would be hospitable. Both planets are too close to the Sun and the intense heat would make both planets inhospitable.
the smallest planet would be Pluto but since scientists say its not it would be MERCURY.
Mercury first and Pluto last.
Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but back when it was a planet, it would fit that description. Mercury is now the official smallest planet, but it is closest, not farthest.
No, even if Pluto were as large as Mercury, it would not be classified as terrestrial. Terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed of ice and rock. Additionally, Pluto's orbit and location in the solar system would still make it more like a dwarf planet rather than a terrestrial planet.
Mercury is the planet that is only slightly larger than Earth's moon. It is the smallest planet in our solar system and has a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers, compared to the moon's diameter of about 3,474 kilometers.

well technically its not a planet no more but Pluto
Pluto was the smallest but is no longer classed as a planet, it is now a dwarf planet, so going by that, Mercury is now the smallest, followed by Mars, so it would be Mars.

That would be Mars, Mercury being the smallest. Unless you still count Pluto, in which case Mercury would be the second smallest.
Mercury is the least massive of all the planets. The least massive planet is Mercury (0.055 Earths). However, the planet with the weakest gravity is Mars. I am of course not treating Pluto as a Planet (as it is no longer categorized as a planet), if I were to count Pluto then it would be the least massive ( 0.0021 Earths).

Since Pluto was demoted, Mercury isthe smallest planet. So, that would make its ranking number eight.
Only Mercury (Pluto also was in there, but it's now a "minor planet).
Mercury is the planet that is only slightly larger than Earth's moon. It is the smallest planet in our solar system and has a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers, compared to the moon's diameter of about 3,474 kilometers.
Mercury's diameter is 4879 km or 3,032 miles.
