Description: The planet Mercury is extraordinary and also very similar to the earth in some points. Mercury has ist own time. It rotates around the sun so fast, that a year on this plantet only lasts for about 88 earth days. A single day on Mercury on the other hand lasts 176 earth days caused by ist slow speed rotating around itself. Also Mercury with its hugh iron core is been shrinking through time and defies the proximity to the sun. Three times bigger and seven times hotter than on earth the sun influences the orbit around and the conditions on Mercury and causes temperatures between 840°F and -275°F. But similar to earth, Mercury is not only a hot and heavy planet. Its magnetic shield protects the planet and shows an impressive light show that is simply fascinating. ---- This series offers essential travel advice for any aspiring astronaut planning to take the first steps on Earth’s fellow planets.
