Earth has an atmosphere, water, and plate tectonics. Rivers, glaciers and, to a lesser degree, wind, are constantly weathering Earth's surface, carving valleys and breaking down mountains. Moving tectonic plates thrust up mountain ranges and recycle the ocean floor. Volcanoes create fresh, new surface material.
Mercury and the moon have none of these features. They are geologically dead. Collisions with asteroids and comets are the only significant forces that shape their surfaces, so they are covered in impact craters. Other than these craters, the surfaces of these objects have not changed since they first formed. Many of the craters themselves formed when the solar system was young and collisions were more common.
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
Mercury resembles the Earth's moon in terms of its heavily cratered surface, lack of atmosphere, and extreme temperature variations between its day and night sides. Both objects are rocky bodies and have been heavily bombarded by impacts over their history.
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
It isn't, it's a little bit bigger than the moon. It is the second smallest planet, if you count Pluto

It doesnt effect the earths surface, it affects the the earth surface by expanding cracks in the ground.

The planet Mercury has the most similar cratered surface compared to the moon.
while earths surface is smooth or rocky or filled with water, mercurys surface is made out of cotton candy, the clouds on mercury are fuzz balls and the water is coors light. mercury is awesome, earth sucks ._. creepy face
Mercury has an average surface temperature (67°) closest to the Earths average surface temperature (14°C). The temperature on Mercury varies a lot though - you could argue that Mars is closer in temperature.
How is Mercury's density is about high as the earths density
100
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
