Cool info on mercury
• Mercury is a small rocky planet .Mercury
has been visited by the mariner 10
spacecraft .Mariner 10 has mapped a little
less than half 45% of Mercury's surface.
They are still studying information sent to
Earth from the Mariner spacecraft to make
sure The temperature on Mercury ranges
from 90 K to 700K . It was once believed
that there was no water on Mercury, but
this turned out to be false.
SOME COOL PICS OF
MERCURY
• Some pics
Facts on our solar system
• In our solar system, nine planets
circle around our Sun. The Sun sits in
the middle while the planets travel
in circular paths (called orbits)
around it. These nine planets travel in
the same direction (counterclockwise looking down from the
Sun's north pole). The picture on the
right shows the different paths and
positions of each planet
Why we picked
MERCURY
• We picked mercury because it is an
interesting planet as you can see
•
•
It is a major part of the solarsystem
Mercury
• Our solar system consists of eight major planets
and three dwarf planets. Amongst the eight major
plants, Mercury is the smallest one. At the same
time, it is closest to the sun. The planet is only
slightly larger than moon and is filled with craters
on its surface. It does not have a satellite of its
own and is also devoid of any rings. The
atmosphere of Mercury consists of sodium,
helium, hydrogen and oxygen . The planet appears
bright, when seen from earth
INFO ON MERCURY
In Roman mythology Mercury is the
god of commerce, travel and
thievery. Mercury is also known as
Hermus , the messenger of the Gods,
in Greek mythology. The planet
probably received this name because
it moves so quickly across the sky.

MERCURY FACTS
•
•
•
•
Diameter:4,879 KM
One day:59 earth days
Distance from sun:57,900,000KM
Orbit around sun: 88 days
MERCURY
• Mercury is the closet planet to the
sun. For the reason Mercury is
extremely hot during the day. There
is no air or water on Mercury ,so
noting could live there.
