Green light emitted by excited mercury vapor corresponds to a particular energy transition in the mercury atom a more energetic transition might emit?
Blue Light
Is mercury red in thermometers?
The planet Mercury is grey, similar in colour and general appearance to our moon. Red Mercury is a chemical made of Iodine and Mercury. It was used as a medicine a long time ago before people realised it was actually poisonous. It is either in the form Mercury(I) iodide or Mercury(II) iodide.
How does a thermomether works?
A mercury thermometer (like the kind a medic might use) is a thin glass tube filled with the metallic element mercury, which is a liquid. The rate at which mercury expands with heat is known and happens at a constant rate, so the movement of the mercury column up and down the tube can be read off at a scale on the side. Because mercury is relatively dense, it isn't affected too much by changes in atmospheric pressure.
Why does a clinical thermometer not start at 0 degrees celsius?
For sensitivity, a thermometer should only display the range that is required. Starting at around 35C up to 45C covers the whole range of temperatures that people might record. If the range had to be 0C - 100C, it would make it very hard to read the temperature accurately. Clinical thermometers use alcohol while lab thermometers use mercury,while alcohol has a freezing point of -112 o c mercury has freezing point of -39 o c
Why might there be discrepancies between the measured values of different blocks?
the blocks might not be the same size.
What planet has the coldest temperatures Mercury Earth Mars or Jupiter?
It Isn't Earth of couse! It's Maybe Jupiter, It Might Be I'm Not So Soure. But You Can Try Google.com.au/What+Is+The+Coldest+Planet
Why does Mercury have an average density that is close to that of earth even though Mercury is a smaller planet?
That might be an indication that Mercury has a similar composition to Earth. For more details, check the Wikipedia articles on Earth, and Mercury, to see what is believed to be inside each planet.
What othe object in space does mercury resemble why?
Mercury resembles Earth's Moon in appearance
Why might a mountain top and a nearby valley have widely different temperatures?
Elevation
Can we see any planets from mercury?
Yes. You could probably see all of the planets that you see from Earth as well as Earth itself. You might also be able to see Uranus as well from the night side of Mercury. Uranus is generally too faint to be seen from Earth but Mercury, which would not be much farther away from than Earth is, has no atmosphere to distort or obscure light from the planet.
Why the solid changing to liquid?
A solid will turn into a liquid if the temperature get hot enough. There are different temperatures for different solids, so you might have to check.
What planet has the highest temperature?
Venus. Earth's Evil twin. If you want the specifics, this planet is instant death. The clouds are poisonous, the ground is extremely hot. Over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and this thing has like, twelve volcanoes within a 3 meter radius. Mercury is also hot too. You might want to compare temperatures to make sure.
How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same

Why is earth your planet?
How do you know it is, I might own a different one.
Maximum surface temperature on mars in celsius?
The surface temperature of Mars in celsius is 23 Celsius. Here are some other temperatures you might be interested in: Mercury surface temp: 427 Celsius Venus surface temp: 484 Celsius Earth surface temp: 15.0 Celsius Hope this helped :)
Why might Mercury have such extreme temperatures relative to those on earth?
It is hot during the day because it is the closest planet to the sun. It gets very cold on the dark side because Mercury has no atmosphere and its surface is bad at retaining heat. So as soon as it gets dark, all its heat radiates away and it gets very cold.
