Tag: Mercury

Mercury is explored in this collection of accurate, accessible science graphics, designed to make understanding the innermost planet of our Solar System clear and engaging. These visuals highlight Mercury’s cratered surface, extreme temperatures, thin atmosphere, and dynamic magnetic field, showing how it differs from Earth and other rocky planets. Ideal for educators, students, and space enthusiasts, this Mercury graphic collection turns complex planetary science concepts into visually rich, easy-to-grasp resources for teaching and learning about this small but fascinating world.

Planetary spheres art

100-km depth contours outline the basic radial compositional structure of the planetary interiors of Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

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.
