Facts About Mercury the Planet

  • Mercury is composed of an iron core which is at least partially molten. That is surrounded by a mantle, which is rocky, and a crust.

  • The surface of Mercury resembles Earth’s moon because it has a layer of silicates which are tiny particles.

  • There is no gravity to slow down meteoroids and no friction to burn them up, so the surface of Mercury is pocketed by craters.

  • The largest crater on Mercury is called Caloris Basin and is 800 miles in diameter.

  • There is ice made of water at Mercury’s poles in deep craters.

  • Mercury has no moons or rings.

Facts About Mercury As a Metal

  • Its symbol is Hg, from the Latin hydrargyrum, meaning liquid silver.

  • Its boiling point is over 356 degrees Celsius, and it freezes at around minus 38 degrees Celsius

.

  • It does not conduct heat very well, but is a fairly good conductor of electricity.

  • It has high surface tension and breaks up when poured or spilled onto a flat area, forming small beads which move around quickly.

  • It is used in thermometers because its expansion when heated is fairly constant, and in barometers because of its density.

  • It can be easily absorbed into your body through the skin, lungs, or by ingesting it
