** M e rcury is the closest planet to the sun and a good way to remember the order of the planets is this little mind trick "My Very Excellent Martian Just Sold Us Nine Planets". Another little fact about Mercury is that Mercury has a similar surface to the moon. it is lifeless, rocky and has lots of craters on it. Did you know...Mercury means the Greek God Hermes from the Romans. Mercury is the smallest planet. Mercury has no moons. Because mercury is the smallest planet it has lit **** tle gravity there is not gravity to hold an atmosphere. Mercury's average distant from the sun is 58 million kilometres. Did you know... the orbital speed of Mercury is 47.8 kilometres/sec. Did you know... one day on Mercury is about 58-1/2 Earth days, that is because it is so close to the sun. Mercury is only slightly bigger than Earth's moon. Mercury is only about one-third of the size of the Earth.Did you know... Mercury always rises or sets within two hours of the Sun, so its features are washed out by the Sun’s glare. Mercury's surface temp can get up to 800 degreees. Did you know... Mercury is not the hottest planet even though it is the closet planet to the sun. Mercury has no water on it but it may have water underneath the surface. Mercury has little surface gravity unlike some planets that dont have any. ** **BY Alanah,Brooke,Portia and Annalise ** ** www.kidastronomy.com **

Mercury is a white gold orb and is also closest to the flarring pellet of fire. Mercury is a teeny tiny chocolate, banana, carrot and caramel thickshake, spinning rapidly like a tornato around the burning, scorching, firing massive bucket of lava. Mercury is like a block of caramel fudge with chunks of salmon, amber, rust, banana, chocolate and hazel shining in the glowing light of the extremely large torch. Mercury is like the tiniest ever microscopic banana, carrot and caramel thickshake with chunks of caramel, salmon, amber, rust, banana, chocolate and hazel.
