What is the composition of the planet Mercury not Mercury the element?

Mercury consists of approximately 70% metallic (mostly iron) and 30% silicate material (rocks)


Why does Mercury have an average density that is close to that of earth even though Mercury is a smaller planet?

That might be an indication that Mercury has a similar composition to Earth. For more details, check the Wikipedia articles on Earth, and Mercury, to see what is believed to be inside each planet.


Is there Mercury on Mercury?

There is no great amount of the element mercury on the planet Mercury. They are just named for the same Roman god. Being a smaller planet, there should be less metallic mercury within Mercury than is found within Earth, but this cannot be absolutely determined quantitatively. There are no measurable amounts of mercury vapor in Mercury's atmosphere. Atmospheric Composition of Mercury: 42% Molecular oxygen 29.0% sodium 22.0% hydrogen 6.0% helium 0.5% potassium Trace amounts of argon, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water vapor, xenon, krypton, and neon.


What planet has the most carbon on it?

The planet with the most carbon is Earth. Carbon is found in various forms across Earth's atmosphere, oceans, rocks, and living organisms. Mercury is another planet with significant carbon, mainly in the form of carbon-rich minerals like graphite and diamonds.


What type of planet has a solid rocky crust?
