Planet Detective

 Hey Everyone,


Welcome back to my Blog. Today I want to share with you answers to questions about Gravity.


1. What are 2 reasons Mercury lost most of it's Atmosphere?

Mercury is so close to the sun, the solar wind blows pieces of Mercury away  

Mercury has lower Gravity


2. Compare How Close Mercury & Earth Are Closest To The Sun

The answer is negative 92.631, Mercury is 58 Billion Kg away from the Sun and Earth has 151 Billion Kg away from the Sun


3. Compare How Much Mass Mercury & Earth Has

The mass of Mercury is 0.055 and the Earth will have 20 times more mass than Mercury


4. How Does Not Having An Atmosphere Affect The Temperature On Mercury?

It gets Colder, there no Oxygen, the hottest Temperature 430C and the coldest Temperature is 180C 


Bonus - Where do the name Mercury & Whiro come from?

Whiro is the Lord Of Darkness and Embodiment of all evil in Maori Mythology. Mercury was a Roman God that was really fast.
