About Mercury
Meet Mercury, the closest planet to the sun! With a diameter of 3,032 miles, Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. Despite its small size, Mercury is a fascinating celestial body with a unique set of characteristics. It has a highly elliptical orbit, which makes it appear to move backwards in the sky, a phenomenon known as retrograde motion. Mercury's surface is heavily cratered, and it has a large iron core that makes up about 42% of its volume.
