How can astronomers use the age of a lunar rock to estimate the age of the surface of a planet such as murcery?
Bootyhole
What did radar astronomers find in the polar regions of Mercury?
Radar astronomers have found evidence of water ice in the permanently shadowed regions near the poles of Mercury. These deposits could be billions of years old and are thought to have been delivered by comets or asteroids impacting the planet's surface.
Does Mercury have a solid surface or gaseous?
Mercury has a rocky surface, it is the closest planet to the sun in the solar system (however not the hottest). There are only 4 gas giants in our solar system, (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus) how ever astronomers have discovered many other gas planets orbiting other stars in the galaxy. Hope this helps you:)
Can astronomers tell from the elements of a star what uts surface temperature is?
Yes, astronomers can estimate the surface temperature of a star based on its spectral type, which is determined by the elements present in its atmosphere. Each spectral type corresponds to a range of surface temperatures, allowing astronomers to make an educated guess about a star's surface temperature.
Why does Mercury have an unmapped surface?
The question is inappropriate because the surface of Mercury is not unmapped!

How do astronomers determine the surface temperatures of the stars?
Astronomers determine the surface temperatures of stars by analyzing their spectrum of light. Each star emits a unique spectrum based on its temperature which can be measured using instruments like spectrographs. By comparing the observed spectrum to known temperature profiles, astronomers can estimate the surface temperature of a star.

How does knowing the age of a lunar rock help astronomers estimate the age of the surface of a planet with no atmosphere?
Because there is no atmosphere, no erosion has taken place, so lunar rocks are the same today as they were when they (and the Moon) were formed.Also to what this other person wrote:By knowing the rate of cratering, scientists are able to use the number of craters on the surface of any body to estimate how old its surface is-- without having to bring back rock samples. The lunar rocks brought back during the Apollo missions were found to be about 4.6 billion years old. Because these rocks have hardly changed since they formed, we know the solar system itself is about 4.6 billion years old.
Why can astronomers see the surface of mars clearly not the surface of Venus?
Surface materialsbasaltic rock and altered materials
What were astronomers able to photograph Mars' surface easily?
The reason astronomers were able to photograph the surface of Mars is due to probes, unmanned spacecrafts used for exploration in space.
What is Mercury's surface made out of?
Meteorites smash into Mercury's surface to be so rocky

Is mercury a soild?

What surface of mercury is similar to what surface?
the sun
