Mercury takes 88 Earth days to go around the Sun, but strangely, its day is twice as long taking 176 Earth days to rotate just once! Mercury's slow spin is evidence of why the planet has a magnetic field just 1% as strong as Earth's. (This may have been a very long answer)
Mercury completes approximately 4.15 orbits around the Sun for every 1 orbit that Earth makes. This ratio is due to Mercury's shorter orbital period, which is about 88 Earth days, compared to Earth's 365.25 days. As a result, Mercury moves much faster in its orbit than Earth.
Some scientists have indicated that the Orion Nebula may be even closer than once believed. According to Rob Jeffries at Keele University in England, the Orion Nebula may be as close as 1300 light years from Earth.
Yes, some fluorescent light bulb ballasts contain mercury as part of their design. Mercury is used in fluorescent bulbs to help create ultraviolet light, which then interacts with the phosphor coating inside the bulb to produce visible light. However, newer ballasts may use alternative technologies that are mercury-free.
Both planets are visible as bright points of light in the sky. Ancient astronomers called them "planets" because they appeared as "wandering stars" among the relatively stable backdrop of actual stars. Both are rocky planets like Earth, but both are much smaller. Mercury is about 2/5 (38%) the size of Earth and Mars is about 1/2 the size (53%) of Earth. Mercury is the closest planet orbiting the Sun. Mars is the 4th planet from the Sun. Mercury orbits the Sun every 88 Earth days, while Mars takes about 687 Earth days (1.8 years). Mars has a relatively thin atmosphere of carbon dioxide. Mercury has virtually no atmosphere. Mars has been visited by scientific probes from Earth, which have found no Earth-type life there, and very little water anywhere in the soil. Mercury may have water ice in craters near its poles, but no air and therefore no oxygen to support life. (see related questions)
no i dont think so because if you live on mercury your going to need oxygen, on mercury, and no it doesn't exist.
They unscrew from the back of the light assy. You may have to remove the light to get ot it.
Isn't that just a joyous little question? Well, when we compare Mercury to Earth, you see that Mercury is almost 8 times smaller than Earth. Imagine them floating peacefully side by side, each with its own unique charm, just waiting for you to appreciate their beauty.
You see a star as what it used to look like because the light from the stars takes so long to get to Earth. While the light it making its way to Earth the stars are burning out, some of the stars we can see may have been burnt out for millions of years now!
It depends on the relative positions of Earth, Mercury, and the sun at the time. Sometimes Mercury is hidden behind or in the glare of the sun. At other times Mercury may be seen shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset.
Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel measured its distance from Earth at about 10.4 light years, very close to the actual value of about 11.4 light years; this was the first distance estimate for any star other than the Sun,[13] and first star to have its stellar parallax measured.
