The cosmos or universe is so enormous and stupendous it’s mind-boggling! Here are some facts about space that are … well, cosmic!
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It’s only a little bigger than the Earth’s moon. Mercury has a rocky surface covered with impact craters caused by meteoroids and comets. It’s the closest planet to the Sun, so it can get hotter than 425°C on its sunny side!
Mercury spins around slowly compared to Earth. One day lasts as long as 59 Earth days. However, a year on Mercury is much quicker because it’s so close to the Sun. Mercury completes one orbit around the Sun in 88 Earth days. If you lived on Mercury, you’d have a birthday every three months!
