Distance from the Earth: The closest it has ever been is 348,294m
Diameter: 3,746 km
Temperature: It varies from 105°C to 155°C
Interesting facts: The gravity on the moon is one quarter compared to the Earth.
The world record high jump on the Earth is 2.5m but on the Moon that would be 15m!!!
When we look at the Moon we only ever see one side because that’s the side that’s always facing us.
The Moon never has any weather so if we stood on the moon our footprints would stay there for millions of years!!!

How did the planet get its name? Mercury is named after the Roman winged messenger of the gods.
Some interesting facts: Mercury’s core is made up of iron and nickel. Mercury is scorching hot, but at night it turns freezing cold. Because of its thin atmosphere, it’s unable to keep any of the sun’s heat in. Mercury is extremely rocky and is covered in craters and dents because asteroids crash in to the surface.
