Mercury

=** Mercury **= ==

Mercury is the first planet in our solar system. It is 35,000 miles from the sun. Mercury has no moons, rings, and is a rocky planet. Mercury has no atmosphere. It gets hit by asteroids and rocks all the time. Although Mercury is closest to the sun, it is not the hottest planet. Venus is like a green house. Its clouds trap the heat so it is very hot there. Mercury is hot but Venus is hotter.
