Mercury was formed as with all planets in our solar system by accretion.
As the proto planets orbited the Sun, asteroids and other stellar stuff were attracted by the now growing mass of Mercury, adding to it's mass and thus it's gravity. It drew more and more interstellar material until there was little left to absorb.
However, another proto planet about the same size as Mercury was in the same orbit as Mercury and they collided. This "merger" ejected the lighter elements out into the Solar System, whilst the heavier elements combined, giving Mercury is current massive iron core.
The planet Mercury is mainly made from a rocky surface and metallic core. This accounts for about 75% of the planet.
Mercury is an element, therefore it's made of mercury. On the Periodic Table it's "Hg".
Mercury is an element it is thus made of Mercury
Mercury is an element, meaning that it isn't "made out of" anything but mercury. For more information, check out a periodic table of the elements, Mercury is number 80 (its symbol is Hg).
Mercury, at sea level pressure and room temperature, density is low enough to be a liquid but too dense to be a gas. Liquid is its natural state.
Mercury is mostly iron in composition.
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
the planet Mercury is named after the god... Mercury!
The first planet in the solar system is Mercury
Mercury is the planet that is closest to our sun.
mercury is the nearest planet to the sun.the space craft mariner 10 who the one who took pictures on it
Planet Mercury was zero years of age when it was made.
Mercury is a planet made of rock and metal.
what made the tracks on planet mercury is rover, the space robot, who was sent from the nasa space station to look for any sign of human life on planet mercury.
Mercury is a rocky planet.It's actually a rock because it is one of the inner planets that are all made of rock.The planet Mercury is a dense, rocky, airless world.
Mercury is a rocky planet.
mercury is made of iron and metal!
Mercury has alot of rocks on is planet because t is made up of rock !
the planet is a solid but mercury is a gas as well
No. The element mercury contains only mercury atoms. The planet Mercury is made mostly of silicon, oxygen, and iron.

Yes. All matter on Mercury is made up of chemicals.
