Does Mercury sit on the Orion's Belt?

Mercury and Earth are in the same solar system, so they are both in the Orion-Cygnus arm of the galaxy, not 'Orion's Belt'. The link below has some neat diagrams of our location and the general structure of the galaxy.

A bit confused here?
Earth and Mercury are in the same solar system which is an extrememly tiny portion
of one 'arm' of the Milky Way galaxy.
Orions belt is part of a Constellation, (the way a group of stars appears when seen from Earth),
that lies north of the 'plane of the ecliptic' where planets (like Mercury), can be seen.
