Nope. They clearly taught that Mercury was the smallest, and the textbook, from the late 1990's confirmed what they were teaching. You're trying to make me look stupid because I was taught something that was incorrect. Well, let me assure you that there's a difference between stupidity and incorrect knowledge.Originally Posted by Loony BoB
It should be noted also that according to your linked article, this was disproved in the 1970's. You have stated that your textbook was from the 1990's.
It is possible that rather than being taught incorrectly, you have actually experienced some kind of problem when learning about planet sizes, such as poor memory, confusion, dyslexia, etc.
There was a time when I thought the schools were there to teach you. This was during that time. It turns out they're there to conform you to society. But they even made a mistake there, because teaching information different from what other schools had been teaching others doesn't conform as we're seeing here.
And, if you followed one of my links, schools had been teaching people this through the 1990's, at least, so it's not my fault. Quit trying to make it my fault.
