One Day on Mercury The full length of a day on the planet Mercury is about 176 Earth days. The planet turns very slowly but also orbits around the Sun very quickly. On the surface, the sky will appear to have a sunset and a sunrise like we do on Earth. Image - http://www.solstation.com/stars/mercury.htm
How Long is One Year On Mercury? Like we said, Mercury orbits around the sun at a quick rate. One year on mars is roughly 88 Earth days. Now that means that one day on mercury lasts two Mercury years. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahu KEwifq_SFwJrfAhUUyYMKHTG_BzgQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wik ipedia.org%2fwiki%2fmercury_(planet)&psig=aovvaw08zcra2kfrkegrk53k6kz h&ust=1544711256967466
How Many Moons Does Mercury Have? Mercury doesn't have any moons UniverSavvy
What Are the Layers of Mercury Mercury has 5 layers inside of the planet. Earth, Although, only has 4. Mercury has a thick crust and a quite a thin mantle. The two core layers are just like Earth with a solid inner core and a liquid outer/middle core.

Surface Features The surface of mercury is kind of like the surface of the moon, it is filled with craters. There are faults that are slowly causing the crust to shrink. There are some volcanoes. There are also some ridges that run along the surface. Air and Space
Random Facts! - Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System (p l u t o i s n o t a p l a n e t) - Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, so imagine how far the furthest planet is from the sun. The first spacecraft to land there aged 45 percent of the surface and it was called the Mariner 10. Mercury is the second hottest planet, yet it has ice due to drastic temperature fluxuations. No one knows who discovered Mercury.
Facts about Venus A day on Venus lasts longer than a year. Venus doesn t have any moons. It takes 225 days for Venus to orbit around the sun. The surface temperature of Venus is 462 C or 864 F Venus rotates in the opposite direction of most planets Venus is 25% smaller than Earth.

Distance of Earth from the Sun: Earth is about 149,597,870 km away from the sun.
Period Of Rotation (Length of a Day): The Earth s period of rotation is 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds.
Period of Revolution or Length of One Year: It takes about 365 days for Earth to complete 1 year.
Number of Moons and Unusual Moon Info: Earth has one moon: Unusual facts about Earth s moon. It is Earth s only natural satellite. The moon s diameter is 3,475 km. The moon doesn t have an atmosphere. The moon is slowly drifting away from Earth. Small quakes occur on the moon.
Layers of the Earth & Atmosphere: There are four layers of the Earth, these include: The crust The Mantle The Outer Core & the Inner Core Earth s Atmosphere: Earth s atmosphere is about 480 km. thick. The air pressure also decreases at higher altitudes. It is composed of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.93% Argon, and 0.04% carbon dioxide. There are also trace amounts of neon, helium, methane, krypton and hydrogen, and water vapor. Earth s atmosphere also has five layers. These layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere.
Orbital Radius Earth s orbital radius varies between 152 and 147 km.
Photos of Planet:
Surface Features of Planet: Surface features of the Earth include: Bodies of water such as lakes, oceans, ponds, etc. Mountains Hills Valleys Canyons Different rocks (boulders, stones, as well as types of rocks) A wide variety of vegetation such as trees, ferns, bushes, etc. Geologic features that are created by tectonic plate movement (volcanoes, trenches, etc.)
Scale Information: What would the size of Earth be if the Sun had a diameter of 10km? Include a conversion. The Earth s diameter is 12,742 km. The sun s diameter is 1.391016 million km If the Sun's diameter was 10 km you would divide that by 109 which is how many times bigger the Sun is compared to Earth. You would then get about 0.09 so the Earth would have a diameter of 0.09 km if the Sun had a diameter of 10 km.
Scale Information (Continued): How far away would Earth be if the Sun s Diameter was 10km? To figure this out divide the approximate distance from Earth to the Earth which is 149,597,870 km by 1,000,000. You should get about 14 km which is the answer.
Random Fact Earth is not perfectly round. Centrifugal force pushes the equator outwards!
