Mercury has the most eccentric orbit of all eight planets and its distance from the Sun varies between 0.307 and 0.467 astronomical unit. (1 AU = 149.6 million km). This means that the Sun's heat and light is more than doubled when Mercury is at its closest, compared to when it is furthest away.
The orbit of Mercury is slightly 'squashed', with the minor axis of the ellipse about 2% smaller than the major axis.
Mercury is located about 36 million miles from the Sun on average.
3030 miles
Mercury has an equatorial diameter of 3.48 times 10^3 kilometers.
Mercury's diameter is 4879km.
Mercury's diameter is approximately 4,880 kilometers (3,032 miles), making it the smallest planet in the solar system.
No, Mars is larger than Mercury. Mars has a diameter of about 6,779 kilometers, while Mercury has a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers.
Mercury's minimum distance from Earth, known as perihelion, is about 46 million kilometers (29 million miles). This occurs when Mercury is closest to the Sun in its elliptical orbit.
Mercury is much smaller than the Sun. Mercury's diameter is about 4,880 kilometers, while the Sun's diameter is about 1.4 million kilometers. This means that the Sun is over 280 times larger in diameter than Mercury.
Mercury's diameter is 4,880 km, while Venus is much bigger, having a diameter of 12,104 km. so this means that you could fit 2 of them into the diameter of Venus, with enough room left to put 41% of another one on it.
The Sun is more than 6 million times more massive than Mercury and its volume is more than 23 million times larger. Mercury has a diameter of 4879km approx. On the other hand, Sun has a diameter of 1,392,684 km. Which means, Sun's diameter is 285 times larger than that of Mercury.

Not even close to it. The sun is about 864938 miles in diameter, while Mercury is only about 3032 miles in diameter. Actually, Mercury is not much larger than Earths moon. If you mean Mercury as in the plant, then no. The sun is the biggest thing in are solar system.
Mercury is smaller than Earth in terms of diameter. Mercury's diameter is about 4,880 kilometers, which is around 38% the size of Earth's diameter.
Yes, Mercury Shrank in diameter. Yes, Mercury Shrank in diameter.
Edge to edge, 285 Mercuries would fit across the diameter of the Sun. Volume-wise, it would take over 23 million times the volume of Mercury to equal the Sun.
