Awesome Facts About the Planet Closest to our Sun

in #space7 years ago

Mercury circles our Sun fastest then any planet. Being the closest, as expected it's scorching at over 800 degrees Fahrenheit and has a wild swing of over minus 270F night temperature.

Mercury has always been a big area of interest for me. Here are some of my favorite facts on this planet..

  • It's the smallest planet in our Solar system
  • It's magnetic field is just 1 of Earth's
  • Instead of a substantial atmosphere, Mercury has a ultra thin exosphere made up of atoms
  • It orbits the sun every 99 Earth Days
  • Gravity is 0.38 of that on Earth
