Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It’s a little bigger than Earth’s Moon. It is the closest planet to the Sun, but it’s actually not the hottest.
Detailed explanation-2: -With a radius of 1, 516 miles (2, 440 kilometers), Mercury is a little more than 1/3 the width of Earth. If Earth were the size of a nickel, Mercury would be about as big as a blueberry.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mercury is bigger than Pluto, but it’s still considered the smallest planet because of Pluto’s designation as a dwarf planet. In 2006, the IAU determined Pluto did not meet the qualifications to be a planet because it doesn’t clear its orbital path like the other planets do.
