Mercury is consider by many the most magical planet in our solar system. Many photos of it have reveal a mixture of beautiful colours on its surface. According to scientific data, the color of Mercury’s surface for the human eye would be gray-brown in general, but its color is not fixed, it changes over time due to its energetic geological activity. Strokes from asteroids or comets, volcanic eruptions cause the crater’s material to rise in space, can be particles of different sizes that reflect sunlight in different radiations. This is why many photos of a mercury surface are mix of beautiful colors. Scientists explain the dark shade on the surface of mercury as the deposition of carbon residues. Mercury is the smallest inner planet in the solar system, slightly larger than Earth and the Moon, it is also the fastest planet around the sun and slower around its axis. Given these as well as the angle of the elliptical plane of its rotation, it resolves that looking from Mercury, it will have only one day in two Mercury years.Mercury orbiting the Sun within the Earth’s orbit can be seen in the west after sunset and in the east before sunrise, although in many cases it is difficult.The surface of Mercury looks similar to the surface of the Moon and Earth because there are also high mountain ranges, valleys, plateaus, volcanic craters, with a thin atmosphere, which due to its proximity to the Sun causes large temperature fluctuations from night to day. Mercury formed 4.5 billion years ago was subjected to scientific research by spacecraft such as the MESSENGER spacecraft in 2011. It discovered water ice in the North Pole craters and then in 2016 with the MARINER spacecraft that discovered the Mercury magnetic nucleus. Studies and research on this planet continue.
