Lyrics: CHORUS: I’m Mercury the closest planet to our sun The smallest, fastest planet in the solar system Named after the winged messenger God of the Romans I don’t have a moon because Sun’s gravity would take ‘em  I’m a very small planet barely larger than your moon And, I’m shrinking  - very slowly –  I’ll be even smaller soon My iron core is cooling which causes me to contract in size  Creating wrinkles (or scarps) on my surface that are up to a mile high  A year on Earth is much longer than a year on Mercury One orbit round the Sun is just 88 Earth days for me But my days are very long, I have a slow rotation rate A single rotation on my axis takes me about 59 days  Because I rotate slowly but travel quickly ‘round the sun A full day on me from dawn one day to the very next dawn Takes 176 Earth days because of my position ‘round the sun here So, one Mercurian Day lasts as long as 2 of my Mercurian years  CHORUS   One of 4 terrestrial planets in our solar system  This means I have a rocky, solid surface composition My gravity is weak, just 38% of Earth’s gravity Which makes it hard for me to hold my atmosphere to me  My very thin atmosphere, called my exosphere, you see Changes with my distance from the Sun and the solar radiation on me Solar winds constantly blow my atmospheric gases away But those same solar winds bring dust, and gas, and debris back my way  My temperatures are extreme from super-hot to very cold I have a very weak atmosphere so the heat’s hard for me to hold Though I’m the closest planet to the sun, I’m not the hottest you will meet Venus is much hotter because its thick clouds hold in the heat  CHORUS  I have more impact craters than any other planet in our system Because my atmosphere is thin, I keep getting hit by them With nearly 800 classified, your scientists named over 400 so far After famous, artists, writers and composers like Beethoven and Mozart  I have water on me!  I promise that I’m right! Deep inside some of my dark craters are small deposits of ice Earth’s Messenger Probe confirmed that the water is in a solid ice state  But, there’s no liquid water here because it would evaporate  One of the coolest things about me that you may not know Is that I have a tail behind me and Sun’s radiation makes it glow It’s not made out of dust and ice like a comets tail, oh no It’s sodium atoms from my surface that the Sun’s solar winds blow  CHORUS  ©Copyright March 2022 by Goes to Eleven Media.
