THE SOLAR SYSTEM WEB QUEST
* the first planet from the
sun * 36 million miles away from the
sun * no moons * no clouds * no weather * dusty and gray * no rivers or oceans * has mountains and volcanos
(but the volcanos do not erupt anymore) * there is no sound on Mercury,
it is a silent world. Mercury is a small, rocky
planet. It is about 1/3 the size of the Earth. It
has a dusty surface filled with craters (round
holes on the surface of the planet). Mercury looks
a lot like Earth's moon. Mercury does not have an
atmosphere. This means there is no air. A year on Mercury is only 88
Earth-days long. One day is 59 Earth-days
long.
