What is the force of gravity at the surface on mercury for example what would a 100-pound person weigh on in mercury?
The acceleration of gravity on Mercury's surface, and therefore the weight of anyobject located there, is 37.7% of its value on the surface of the Earth. It followslogically that a person whose body weighs 100 pounds on the Earth's surfacewould weigh 37pounds 11.2ounces on the surface of Mercury just before it beganto vaporize in the bright sunshine there.
What is the gravity of Mercury relative to Earth's?
If you weigh 100lbs on Earth, you would weigh 37.8lbs on Mercury.
How would landscape be like on mercury?
It is quite similar to that of our moons landscape. It has craters, boulders and rocks on the surface. There is no atmosphere, so no wind or rain to erode the craters away over time. The sky would be black rather than blue, while the sun would appear much larger in size.
What would it be like to live on Mercury?
it would be really hot
What would happen to temperature on Mercury during the day if a sunspot was directly in line with its surface?
If a sunspot were directly in line with Mercury's surface during the day, the temperature would likely remain largely unaffected. Sunspots are cooler regions on the Sun's surface that do not emit as much energy as surrounding areas. Although they can influence solar radiation output slightly, the effect on Mercury's already extreme daytime temperatures would be minimal, as Mercury's proximity to the Sun and lack of atmosphere result in intense heat regardless of sunspot activity.
What would happen if limestone chips were put into mercury?
They would float on the surface of the Mercury but they wouldn't react with the Mercury.
How would earth's surface look if it didn't have an atmosphere?
there would be nothing, less than mercury, because mercury's atmosphere is a foot off of its surface.
What colors mercury?
Mercury is a merky colour. If you were to think of a paint palette you would mix flourescent magenta and muddy brown.
Is it true that you would be able to walk across the surface of a swimming pool of mercury?
no
How do you find length and width with just the height and surface area?
To get the surface area, someone had to multiply length times width. So what we would need to do is take our surface area, divide by our height, which is our width, and get our length. So if SA stood for surface area, and h stood for height, we'd take SA/h to get the length.

Why is mercury level convex in shape?
The reason we consider the surface area of the entire mass of mercury, including the part of the surface that is in contact with the glass, is because mercury does not adhere at all to glass. So the surface tension of the mercury acts over its entire surface area, including where it is in contact with the glass. If instead of glass, the tube were made out of copper, the situation would be very different. Mercury aggressively adheres to copper. So in a copper tube, the level of mercury at the center of the tube will be lower rather than higher than at the edges

Why is silica black?
Silicon is a silvery grey material, with a conchoidal fracture. It is stable and I have a specimen on my shelf. It is used in the solid form in the refining of Aluminum. As with any material, the colour of the surface is a matter of subtractive colour. A red surface or a green surface absorbs all colours except red, and green respectively. A silvery grey surface would be given by a material with a 'neutral density colour' and a highly reflective surface.
