Location of Mercury Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Mercury is 138 million miles away from Earth Mercury is 43.5 million miles away from the Sun.

Location of Mercury Proxima Centauris the closest star to Mercury besides the Sun. From Mercury to Pluto it is 30 to 50 AU.

Characteristics of Mercury Mercury is rocky and dense. Mercury has a radius of 1,515 miles Mercury has a diameter of 4,879.

Characteristics of Mercury Mercury has many craters like the moon. Mercury has wrinkled edges on it. Mercury is the second smallest planet in the solar system.

Fun Facts Mercury travels faster around the Sun than any other planet. Mercury's sky stays dark both day and night. Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth's moon.

Fun Facts Caloris Basin is the largest crater and it is bigger than Texas. It could take 6 months to get to Mercury. From Mercury the Sun looks three times bigger than it does on Earth.

My Reflection I would like to keep researching this planet because it has many more facts that I would like to learn. I would like to live on mercury because no one lives there now. I think science will continue by maybe we will be able to go to mercury and learn about it even more.
