Mercury has a surface area of about 75 million square kilometers.
Earth has 2.54 times the surface area of Mercury. Earth-12,756 km Mercury-4,880 km
The surface area of Mercury is approximately 75 million square kilometers.
Saturn is far bigger than Mercury, having 24 times the surface area of Mercury. Saturn-120,034 km Mercury-4,880 km
Uranus is much bigger than Mercury, having 10.2 times the surface area of Mercury. Uranus-51,152 km Mercury-4,880 km

Mercury drops are spherical due to surface tension. The cohesive forces between mercury molecules create a pressure balance throughout the drop, causing it to adopt a shape with the least surface area, which is a sphere.

The surface area of Mercury is approximately 75 million square kilometers.
The reason we consider the surface area of the entire mass of mercury, including the part of the surface that is in contact with the glass, is because mercury does not adhere at all to glass. So the surface tension of the mercury acts over its entire surface area, including where it is in contact with the glass. If instead of glass, the tube were made out of copper, the situation would be very different. Mercury aggressively adheres to copper. So in a copper tube, the level of mercury at the center of the tube will be lower rather than higher than at the edges

Mars is only about a third larger than Mercury, having 1.34 times the surface area of Mercury. Mars-6,788 km Mercury-4,880 km
Mercury is only a half larger than the moon, with 1.45 times the surface area of our moon. Mercury-4,880 km Moon-3,476 km
The reason Mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
Meteorites smash into Mercury's surface to be so rocky
