Using the equatorial diameter, how large is Mercury compared to Earth?
Can anybody help me with this
Well, the question is under-specified. Possibly, what is being asked is to use the equatorial diameter to work out the volume of each planet and present the results as a ratio. This would be a volume comparison rather than a mass ratio as the mean density of mercury would not be the same as that of earth.
