Mercury takes about 88 days to revolve around the Sun. In this article of today, we are going to tell you that why was it a pleasure to go to the planet, Mercury? You will get all the information and interesting facts about Mercury in this article. So let's talk about the planet Mercury.
On 20 July 1969, Paheli Bar Man stepped on the moon. At this time, when we reached the moon successfully, we had no accurate calculation of going to Mercury when we had sent space to reach Neptune, the last planet of the Sorghum. After all, why was sending a space ship on Mercury a smile?
There were 2 reasons behind not getting information about Mercury. First, its smallest size and second its proximity to the Sun, because it was not empty of dangers. Apart from this, there was another danger that if space was sent to the planet Mercury, it would become very fast due to the gravity of the sun and the planet Mercury would be destroyed. For this, it was necessary to have complete information about it.
On 3 Nov 1973, Nasha left a space called Mariner 10 with the aim of examining the orbit of Venus. Mariner 10 passed through Mercury thrice and in this mission, Nasa got a picture of only 45% of the planet Mercury, which is also of low resolution. But through Mariner 10, the puzzle times closely looked at the planet Mercury and gained information about it.
On landing at Mercury, it looks exactly like our moon but we could not land here because during the day time its temperature is 430 Celsius and at night it falls to -180 Celsius. A lot was known about the planet Mercury through Mariner 10, but this data was not enough to reach Mercury.
Is the earth really going near the end?
For this reason, a ship named "Messenger" was sent on 3 August 2004. This was the first mission to send Mercury to the planet. On 18 March 2011, the Messenger spacecraft successfully landed on the planet Mercury and by 2012, its purpose was fulfilled. Then on 30 April 2015, this mission was terminated by hitting this space with Mercury. With the help of Messenger Space Ship, we got information about 90% parts of Mercury.In this mission, AC information was received from which scientists were shocked. Nasha came to know that the core of Mercury is much larger than its size, it was a strange thing because such a small planet could not have such a large core. That's why scientists speculated that Mercury will be the first big planet, but due to a collision with another body, most of it would have been destroyed.
On 20 Oct 2018, ESA (European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) teamed up for the spacecraft named "Bepi Colombia" to Mercury. This spacecraft will reach Mercury planet by 2025 and start its work and more information about it will be achieved.
Let's know about some interesting facts about the planet Mercury.
1) Your weight on Mercury will be 38% of your weight on Earth.2) The planet of Mercury was discovered about 5000 years ago by the people of Sumerian civilization.
3) Mercury can be seen just before sunrise and just after sunset.
4) There is a huge difference in the temperature of the day and night of the planet Mercury. The temperature during the day on Mercury is 430 Celsius and at night this temperature falls to -180 Celsius.
5) The people of ancient Rome used to call Mercury planet the messenger of the gods because it moves very fast in space.
6) Mercury is the English name of the planet. It is named after a Roman deity but no one has any information about who discovered it and when.
7) The gravity of Mercury is very weak, that is why it does not have a satellite.
8) 1 year of Mercury planet is 88 days.
9) The surface of the planet Mercury is 3 times thicker than the surface of the Earth.
10) Mercury is the fastest planet in the solar system, completing every revolution around the Sun in just 88 Earth days at a speed of about 29 miles per second.
