Tim+V+Mercury



Mercury is basically a giant ball of metal but with a thin rocky outer layer and at the very core it is believed there is liquid, Mercury will orbit 4.15 times around the sun in one Earth year and lies 57.9 million km from The Sun. Mercury is 4,879km wide and weighs 330,200,000,000,000,000,000,000kg! Mercury is one of the worst planets to live on because there is absolutely nothing there that we need such as, air because there is no atmosphere because the gravity is very feint and weak that it can't hold any gases, another thing it doesn't have is water, another reason that it is uninhabitable is because it is extremely hot at day and freezing at night just like a dessert, the reason that it isn't hot at night is because there is no atmosphere to hold in the warmth of The Sun at night. Even though it is the closest planet to The Sun it isn't the hottest due to there being no atmosphere. Just to let you know, the gravity on Mercury is almost one third of the Earth's. Mercury was named after one of the Greek Gods named Hermes who was the messenger god, who was close to another Greek god called Zeus.
