Terrestrial Planets
... Mercury is the smallest of the terrestrial planets, more comparable in size to the Moon than to the Earth. It is also the closest planet to the Sun, with an orbital radius of only 0.39 AU. Mercury is so close to the Sun that ordinary Newtonian gravity is not sufficient to describe its orbit. The perih ...
