Yes, that's correct. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It has a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers (3,032 miles), making it even smaller than some of the largest moons in the solar system, such as Ganymede and Titan. Due to its small size and proximity to the Sun, Mercury has some unique characteristics, including extreme temperature variations between its scorching hot daytime and freezing cold nighttime.
