MERCURY-Alex,Jono,Eddie

Mercury, being an inferior planet, appears as a morning star and an evening star, but is much more difficult to see than the other inferior planet, Venus. At its brightest, Mercury is technically a very bright object when viewed from Earth, but it is not easily seen in practice because of its proximity in the sky to the Sun. [])
 * Mercury** is the innermost of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the smallest, and its orbit has the highest eccentricity of the eight.[ahome] It orbits the Sun once in about 88 Earth days, completing three rotations about its axis for every two orbits. Mercury has the smallest axial tilt of the Solar System planets. The perihelion of Mercury's orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century beyond what is predicted by Newtonian mechanics, a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.[12home]

Planet mecury looks much like our moon it's about the same size and its covered in craters, where bits of space rock have crash-landed on its suface.Thee biggest crater is the Caloris Basin, which is about 1,300 km across. Mercury also has huge plains, rolling hills, deep gorges, chasms and cliffs.[]
