Mercury
Diameter: 4879 km
Distance from the sun: 46 million km
Period of revolution: 0.24 years
Period of rotation: 58.65 days
Atmosphere: In the early Solar System, Mercury might had a thick atmosphere, like the Earth or Venus. Unfortunately, its low gravity wasn't able to hang thick atmosphere onto the Mercury, and the solar wind from the Sun blew away all of its atmospheric particles into space, never to return.
However, Mercury still have an atmosphere which contain hydrogen, helium, oxygen, sodium, calcium, potassium and water vapor. The hydrogen and helium atoms probably come from the solar wind.
Temperature:
Max - 427°C (day)
Min - -183°C (night)
Number and names of moons: Number – 1
Moons – No moons
Interesting facts1. Gravity on Mercury
The gravity on Mercury is 38% the gravity on Earth. In other words, if you weigh 100 kilograms here on Earth, you would only weigh 38 kilograms on Mercury.
2. Half of Mercury had never been seen
