It closeness to the sun makes viewing Mercury very difficult, it appears close to the sun in the sky from earth and the glare of the sun comes into play. Its also small, the smallest of the eight planets and we can only see a reduced portion of its surface usually as it orbits insides earths orbit. We see it from the side, with half of it illuminated when it is at the best angle relative to the sun and Earth for viewing.
What else can I help you with?
What planet do scientists not observe as much as all the other planets?
Scientists do not observe Mercury as often because it is difficult to do so.
Why is it so hard to see the planet mercury?
It is hard to see the planet mercury because Mercury is far away, Also the sun reflects off Mercury to make it hard to see.
Why do people have a hard time finding Mercury?
Mercury is between the earth and the sun, so it is hard to find when you are looking into the sun, which is so bright.
Why is mercury so hard to study?
well it doesn't have to be if u make it fun it won't be as hard from experience:) good luck!!
Why is Mercury harder to see from earth?
mercury is hard to see from the earth because it is so close to the sun. it is best to view mercury either at sun rise or sun set.
Why is it sometimes hard to see mercury in the sky?
it is hard because it is so far in the sky and it is far away in the sky and you have trouble seeing it
Does Mercury have any water flows?
no it does not because mercury is not hard
Does Cody have a 1 inch wonder?
Yes scientists Believe so.. But it is hard to observe cause it keeps changing in size
Why is it so hard for astronemers to learn about mercury?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and MUCH closer to the SUN than the Earth so whenever we (astronomers or anyone from Earth) observe Mercury, we are looking almost directly at the Sun. Even when the Sun is not behind Mercury (from our perspective), we are still looking through all the light, radiation, and electromagnetic interference between the Earth and Mercury. This makes observing Mercury very hard, even with the latest in technology, because the interference is intense due to Mercury's close proximity to the Sun. The only way to get accurate readings (free from the Sun's interference) is to put a satellite in orbit around Mercury. This was finally accomplished in 2011 when the MESSENGER satellite began mapping the surface of Mercury.
Why element mercury do not hard when you cold it?
Mercury not hard when you cold it because for it to cold you need it be Mexican so you give it a Taco and Sombrero and then you shoot it with the ultra-wishy-wooshy-woomy-laser-majiggy-alizer and it should be hard, this has a 0.097% chance of working but it's worth a shot!
What planet is often hidden in the sun's glare?
Mercury is the planet often hidden in the sun's glare due to its close proximity to the sun. Its orbit lies within Earth's orbit, so it is sometimes difficult to observe it in the bright sunlight.
How much is the axialtilt of mercury?
As far as has been possible to observe so far, Mercury's tilt is listed as "probably zero".In other words, its equator is thought to lie in its orbital plane, and its axis of rotation is thought to be perpendicular to its orbital plane.
