The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of a planet. All terrestrial planets have lithospheres, but the lithospheres found on Mercury, Venus, and Mars, are thicker and more rigid than Earth's. Mercury's lithosphere lacks fluids and is thick and immobile. It has not changed much in the last billion years.
