Diámetro de Mercurio

El diámetro de Mercurio es 4.878 km.

Necesitamos una manera de comparar que a algo más familiar? El diámetro de Mercurio es sólo el 38% el diámetro de la Tierra. En otras palabras, usted podría poner casi 3 Mercurys un lado a otro para que coincida con el diámetro de la Tierra.

De hecho, hay dos lunas en el Sistema Solar que, en realidad, tienen un diámetro más grande que Mercurio. La mayor luna en el Sistema Solar es la luna de Júpiter, Ganimedes, con un diámetro de 5.268 km y la segunda luna más grande es la luna de Saturno Titán, con un diámetro de 5.152 km.

La luna de la Tierra es sólo 3.474 km, a fin de mercurio no es mucho más grande.
