No time to visit: 100-km depth contours outline the basic radial compositional structure of the planetary interiors of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. To know about their interiors, one has to do measurements in their vicinity. If you want to travel there – and land –, it takes some serious time, mainly to adjust your space ship to the body’s particular orbital speed: To travel and land on Mars around 7 months, on Venus about 15 months, and on Mercury a whopping 6.5 years. Artwork is based on the data visualisation from s-ink.org/planetary-spheres.
