The planet Mercury, although smaller and closer to the Sun, is believed to contain most of the same elements found on Earth, but in different quantities. About 70% of Mercury, including its core, is thought to be iron, and about 30% various silicate compounds (silicon and oxygen). The lack of oceans means there is much less hydrogen. The lack of an atmosphere means that there is comparatively little nitrogen. And the lack of living organisms means that there is likely far less carbon. Atoms of these lighter elements may be blown away from the planet by the action of the solar wind.
