Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Closest to the sun, Mercury is the second smallest planet in our solar system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The second smallest planet in the Solar System is Mars, measuring 6792 km across. With all the focus and exploration of Mars, you’d think it’s a really big planet, but actually it’s pretty small. Mars has only 53% the diameter of Earth, and about 1/10th the mass. It only has 15% the volume of Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mars, the fourth planet from the sun, is the second smallest planet in the solar system; only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about half (53 percent) the size of Earth, but because Mars is a desert planet, it has the same amount of dry land as Earth.
