HISTORY OF THIS DAY
Mercury is the closest planet to the
Sun and the smallest one in the
entire Solar System. This planet's
name has nothing to do with the
liquid metal, since Mercury was
named after the Roman
messenger god. Despite being
closer to the Sun than Venus, its
temperatures aren't as terribly hot
as that planet's. Its surface is quite
similar to that of Earth's Moon,
which means there are a lot of
craters and plains

Speaking of craters, many of them
were named after artists or
authors who made significant
contributions to their respective
fields. Mercury takes a little more
than 58 days to complete its
rotation, so try to imagine how
long days must be there! Since the
temperatures are so extreme,
albeit not as extreme as in Venus,
and the solar radiation is so high,
Mercury has been deemed to be
non-habitable for humans
