Everyone knows the Sun is the largest single object in our solar system. There are eight planets with Jupiter being the largest and as previously mentioned, Mercury is the smallest. Based on this, you would think Mercury is the 9th largest object in our solar system. It is not.
Planets are generally spherical in shape due to rotation and gravity. Mercury is not.
Planets have an atmosphere. Mercury does not.
Mercury helped proved Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
Mercury has a unique orbital resonance with the Sun because of its proximity to the Sun.
Stay tuned for explanations.
And before we begin, we've found Han Solo frozen in carbonite on Mercury.
