Because Mercury is orbiting about the Sun at a speed of 109,000 mph., which is just enough to keep it from either falling towards the Sun, or moving rapidly away from the Sun.
Mercury is first from the sun
The Sun doesn't revolve around Mercury, Mercury revolves around the Sun. For Mercury to revolve around the Sun, it takes 88 Earth days.
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury.
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
No, Mercury is the closet planet to the sun.
Because Mercury is so close to the sun, it needs to go that fast or it would be pulled into the sun and destroyed.
Mercury does not currently have a moon. If one existed in the past, the massive gravity of the Sun would likely have pulled it out of orbit.
Mercury does get affected by the sun's gravity, which keeps it in orbit around the sun. However, the speed at which Mercury orbits the sun, along with its distance from the sun, allows it to maintain a stable orbit rather than being pulled in completely.
The element Mercury has not been found on the sun. If, on the other hand, you were referring to the planet Mercury, then the answer is still the same: the planet Mercury was not found on the sun, but rather orbits the sun.
Not so far as we know. If they were smaller than Mercury, they were probably pulled into the sun long ago. If they were larger than Mercury, we would certainly have detected and seen them by now.
Mercury is 57.9x106m from the sun.
Mercury is first from the sun
Mercury has always been the closest planet to the Sun and unless a little rogue planet slipped in between, during 1999, then Mercury is still the closest to the Sun
well nobody has been on Mercury before because Murcury is the closest planet to to the sun. so it will be far to hot that nobody could resist living on Murcury because of the heat of the sun, also Mercury is filled with sulfuric acid!
Mercury has always been the closest planet to the sun, and it probably always will be.
mercury is right beside the sun it is the frist planet to the sun
mercury is relative to the sun. it is actually closest to the sun
