Mercury By Jayda, Baya,lucas

How Did Mercury Get It’s Name? In astronomy mythology, Mercury was the Roman version of the Greek god Hermes. He was the messenger for the other gods, and for this reason Mercury is often depicted in pictures with winged sandals. In addition to delivering messages, he was also the protector of travelers and merchants.

Order And Distance From The Sun There is only one order form the sun from mercury. It is only 57 million kilometers (36 million miles) away from the sun.

Orbit and Rotation Mercury’s orbit is not a perfect circle like most of the other planets. It’s actually egg-shaped. At times, Mercury’s orbit brings it closer to the sun than other times, while all the other planets that have circular orbits are always the same distance from the sun.

What Does the Surface Look like? As Mercury’s iron core cooled it contracted, or shrunk. This caused its rocky crust to become wrinkled. Scientists call these wrinkles Lobate scarps. This scarps can be hundreds of miles long and even up to a mile high. Mercury’s core has not cooled completely, however. Researcher recently found evidence that Mercury has a molten core.

The Atmosphere The planet Mercury is too small and has too little gravity to hold onto an atmosphere. Any gases released from the planet quickly escape into space. Also, Mercury is so close to the Sun that any atmosphere is quickly blown away by the Sun's solar winds. That means that there is almost no air on Mercury.

Size of Planet Compared to Earth Mass and volume The size of the planet compared to earth and mass its only 5% of earth. The volume is only 5% of earth too!!!!!!!

How much would you weigh on your planet? If you moved to Mercury you would not weigh as much as you do on Earth. Not because you would lose weight on the spaceship, but because Mercury is smaller, and so has less gravity. If you weigh 70 pounds (32 kg) on Earth, you would weigh only about 27 pounds (12 kg) on Mercury.

Temperature Ranges Mercury is just a little bit larger than Earth's moon. The surface of Mercury that faces the Sun can reach about 800 degrees Fahrenheit. On the other hand, the temperature on the nighttime side can plummet to almost -300 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because Mercury has little to no atmosphere to help regulate temperature.
