It is the most cratered planet in the Solar System. It has an extremely thin atmosphere. It is named after the Roman delivery god, Mercurius, since it moves quickly along the sky. You can't see it through a telescope since it's too close to the Sun. Mercury has no moons. Since Pluto isn't a planet anymore, Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System. It looks almost exactly like the moon and has an Earth like interior.
