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.
You mean in OUR solar system. lol. Mercury is now the smallest because Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore.
Mercury is the first, nearest, closest planet to the sun. Then comes Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter. Followed by Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto is considered a "Dwarf" planet, not a real planet, more like a moon than a planet.
Mercury is the smallest of the 8 "major planets" with about 5.5% of the mass of Earth. It is smaller but more massive than the largest moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Pluto is now considered a "dwarf planet" along with the asteroid Ceres and three other very distant Kuiper Belt objects.
the smallest planet would be Pluto but since scientists say its not it would be MERCURY.
Mars because it has no life ,because it is to close to the sun. Luxray8910 says: Actually, Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. But Mars is red, and it is not really possible for Plants or any Living Organism to live on Mars, and that is why it was often referred to the Dead Planet.
Mercury is a real planet, it's Pluto that is not a real planet.
Mercury is a dead planet because its tectonic plates have stopped shifting
Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury.
No. Mercury is a geologically dead planet. It has no volcanoes, not atmosphere, and no water.
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.
Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet, mercury has become the smallest planet.
Mercury is named after Mercury, the mythical Roman winged messenger and escort od dead souls to the underworld. It was named for the fast Mercury because it is the fastest moving planet.
Mercury, venus, earth, and mars.
You mean in OUR solar system. lol. Mercury is now the smallest because Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore.
