The surface of planet Mercury is fairly similar in appearance to our Moon - without atmosphere to moderate impacts, it is mostly heavily cratered plains. Mercury has a significant variety of features more greatly appreciated from recent observations, including ridges, valleys, plains, escarpments, and mountainous areas. One feature of interest is Apollodorus crater with an unusual radiating spider-like pattern.

Surface composition is believed to be mostly silicates but to be poorer or lower in metal content (iron, titanium etc.) than other rocky planets.
