∙ 8y agoMercury has the most eccentric orbit of all eight planets and its distance from the Sun varies between 0.307 and 0.467 astronomical unit. (1 AU = 149.6 million km). This means that the Sun's heat and light is more than doubled when Mercury is at its closest, compared to when it is furthest away.
The orbit of Mercury is slightly 'squashed', with the minor axis of the ellipse about 2% smaller than the major axis.
