There are 8 planets in our solar system. They are Earth, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Originally there were many more, but they could have been thrown out of the solar system or have crashed into the Sun or another planet.

How the mercury planet was born?

Mercury, like all other planets in our solar system, is believed to have formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago from a rotating disk of gas and dust around the young Sun known as the solar nebula. The planet likely accreted from smaller planetesimals and dust particles in its orbit, eventually growing into the small, rocky planet we see today. Mercury's proximity to the Sun and its composition make it unique among the planets in our solar system.
