When asking questions please be more specific so those that are answering do not have to answer two different questions.
Mercury (the element) is a dense, silvery-white, poisonous metal with a mirror-like appearance. It is the only common metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury evaporates slowly at room temperature. You find this mercury in a thermometer as it is a transition metal, silvery-white in color, with an atomic weight of 200.59 and in a liquid state. It has a melting point of -38.83 degrees C, 234.32 Kelvin. In addition, it has a density @ 20 degrees C. of 13.546 g/cm3. Mercury and most of its compounds are highly toxic and the pure metal is absorbed easily by inhalation, ingestion or through the skin.
Mercury (the planet) has a mean surface temperature of 452 K, but it ranges from 90-700 K; The sunlight on Mercury's surface is 6.5 times as strong as it is on Earth, with the solar constant having a value of 9.13 kW/m². For about 800 million years Mercury was pummeled by comets and asteroids and therefore riddled with craters. These impacts were facilitated by the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere and therefore those objects colliding with the planet were not slowed. In addition, the planet was volcanically active during this period which resulted in magma plains.
What else can I help you with?
What are Mercury's landforms?
Mercury's surface features include craters, plains, scarps (cliff-like landforms), and ridges. It also has a large basin called the Caloris Basin, which is one of the largest impact features in the solar system.
What are the longest features found on mercury?
The most distinctive and longest feature on the planet Mercury is the Caloris Basin. It is multi ringed and covers about 840 miles in diameter.
Does Mercury have valleys or mountains?
Yes, Mercury has both valleys and mountains. Some of its valleys were likely formed by tectonic activity, while its mountains are thought to be the result of volcanic activity. Mercury's surface features are the result of a combination of tectonic forces and volcanic processes.
What are some properties of mercury?
Mercury has a melting point of -39.9
Best explaniation for why mercury has more craters than earth?
Unlike the earth, Mercury has almost no atmosphere and therefore nothing which will slow down or even burn up impacting objects. Also, the atmosphere (winds) and liquid water lead to erosion of some of the craters' features.
