      Mercury’s volume, according to Wikipedia, is 6.083 x 10^10, (That’s ten to the power of ten, or a 10 with ten 0’s after it!) which is 60,830,000,000 cubic Km. Converting that to centimeters, we have 6.083 x 10^25,

      Or 60,830,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 cubic cm. That’s a whole lot of cubic cm.

      Note: don’t rely too heavily on Wikipedia, people are always changing information on each page. Mercury’s volume is fairly accurate from what I remember though.
