What is the difference between the planets Mercury and Earth?

Answer 1

Earth has water, oxygen, and life on it. Mercury is rocky very hot dead planet with no atmosphere. Venus is a dead planet covered with extremely hot poisonous gas with a very thick atmosphere that crushes anything on the surface.

Answer 2

They both have large iron cores. They both have a rocky surface. They both orbit the Sun (In an anticlockwise direction (when seen from the Sun's north pole)). They both rotate in an anticlockwise direction. They both weigh more than the Moon. They are both smaller than Neptune.

They're both a planet in the solar system.

Answer 3

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has no atmosphere, while Earth is the third planet from the Sun and has a dense atmosphere that supports life. Mercury has extreme temperature variations, with scorching hot temperatures during the day and freezing cold temperatures at night, while Earth has a relatively stable and habitable climate.

Answer 4

Mercury is closer to the sun than earth, it's days are shorter, it is also red instead of earth's white, green and blue. It is also very, very hot considering that it is so close to the sun.

Answer 5

Mercury's gravity is only .38 of Earths, so if you weighed 100 kilos on Earth, you would only weigh 38 on Mercury.

Answer 6

Mercury closer to sun and hotter so noone can live there. Earth has water and is bigger.

Answer 7

They are both planets and with a slight difference, they have the same density.

Without Earths gravitational compression, Mercury would be the densest planet in the Solar System
