There are three layers on Mercury. Mercury has a crust, a mantle, and a core. It has a crust considered thick, a mantle considered brittle, and a core considered metallic.

Organic life on mercury?

Our understanding of life would suggest that life on Mercury is impossible. Mercury is an Iron Core Planet that has had all its exterior layers burned away. Its proximity to the sun, and it's composition, suggests to us, that no life we would easily identify as life, could exist on Mercury. This would include surface life, and sub-surface life. It is simply too hot, and the limited minerals available, to support life as we are capable of recognizing it. -Dejunai


What is mercury's mantle made up of?
