How might the temperatures on mercury be different if it had the same mass as earth?
If Mercury had the same mass as Earth, its temperatures would likely be higher due to the increased heat capacity. The thicker atmosphere created by the higher mass would help retain and distribute heat more effectively, resulting in more stable surface temperatures across the planet. However, the exact temperature differences would depend on factors like its proximity to the sun and specific atmospheric composition.

Is mercury red in thermometers?
The planet Mercury is grey, similar in colour and general appearance to our moon. Red Mercury is a chemical made of Iodine and Mercury. It was used as a medicine a long time ago before people realised it was actually poisonous. It is either in the form Mercury(I) iodide or Mercury(II) iodide.
Why does the level of mercury change when it is brought in contact with another object?
When mercury comes in contact with another object, such as a container or surface, its level might appear to change due to adhesion and cohesion forces affecting how the mercury interacts with the material of the object. These forces can cause the mercury to spread out or stick to the surface, leading to a change in its apparent level.
Green light emitted by excited mercury vapor corresponds to a particular energy transition in the mercury atom a more energetic transition might emit?
A more energetic transition in the mercury atom might emit blue light, as it corresponds to a higher energy level jump compared to the green light transition. This transition involves the emission of photons with higher energy values than those emitted during the green light transition.
What if Earth had a blue sun shining down on it every day?
If Earth had a blue sun, the sky would appear blue all the time, and plants might have different colors to absorb the blue light for photosynthesis. The climate and ecosystems could be affected, but it's hard to predict exactly how without more information.
Do objects of same mass but of different shapes fall at the same rate?
Yes. Also, objects of different mass, whether or not they have the same shape. With normal Earth gravity, i.e., near the Earth's surface, they will accelerate at about 9.8 meters/second2. This assumes that air resistance can be neglected; once air resistance becomes significant, the acceleration will be less.
What planet has the coldest temperatures Mercury Earth Mars or Jupiter?
It Isn't Earth of couse! It's Maybe Jupiter, It Might Be I'm Not So Soure. But You Can Try Google.com.au/What+Is+The+Coldest+Planet
Why does Mercury have an average density that is close to that of earth even though Mercury is a smaller planet?
That might be an indication that Mercury has a similar composition to Earth. For more details, check the Wikipedia articles on Earth, and Mercury, to see what is believed to be inside each planet.
Is there life form on Mercury?
No, we have never seen any evidence of aliens on Mercury.
Why might Mercury have such extreme temperatures relative to those on earth?
It is hot during the day because it is the closest planet to the sun. It gets very cold on the dark side because Mercury has no atmosphere and its surface is bad at retaining heat. So as soon as it gets dark, all its heat radiates away and it gets very cold.
How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
Can we see any planets from mercury?
Yes. You could probably see all of the planets that you see from Earth as well as Earth itself. You might also be able to see Uranus as well from the night side of Mercury. Uranus is generally too faint to be seen from Earth but Mercury, which would not be much farther away from than Earth is, has no atmosphere to distort or obscure light from the planet.
Why is earth your planet?
How do you know it is, I might own a different one.
Why the solid changing to liquid?
A solid will turn into a liquid if the temperature get hot enough. There are different temperatures for different solids, so you might have to check.
What planet has the highest temperature?
Venus. Earth's Evil twin. If you want the specifics, this planet is instant death. The clouds are poisonous, the ground is extremely hot. Over 800 degrees Fahrenheit, and this thing has like, twelve volcanoes within a 3 meter radius. Mercury is also hot too. You might want to compare temperatures to make sure.
Are there any problems the great wall of china might be facing?
It might be molding or crumbling because it's so old and all the different temperatures and humidity in China.
What planet contains craters making it look similar to earth's moon?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters. Earth's craters are subject to weathering, subduction and orogeny, erasing them from the surface after a time. Mercury is an airless world, geologically inactive, so it has preserved its craters from the beginning of the solar system. Mercury's appearance is most like that of our moon.
Is there mercury in a computer?
Older computers might have mercury, but most modern computers are Mercury-Free.
