    Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system and closest to the Sun, though it is not the hottest planet. It is slightly larger than Earth's moon. Along with Venus, Earth, and Mars, Mercury is one of the rocky planets located in front of the habitable 'Goldilocks zone', making its surface too hot to support liquid water or life. A video about Mercury is provided to learn more about its characteristics and proximity to the Sun.

    MERCURY
    THE CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN
    NOW WHAT IS MERCURY?
    MERCURY IS THE SMALLEST PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. IT'S A LITTLE BIGGER THAN EARTH'S
    MOON. IT IS THE CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THE HOTTEST. VENUS IS
    HOTTER. ALONG WITH VENUS, EARTH, AND MARS, MERCURY IS ONE OF THE ROCKY PLANETS.
    It is also located in-front of the ‘goldilocks zone’, the zone in which life can be harboured. Thus this
    makes it too hot to contain liquid water for life
    Now, let’s watch a video about mercury!

    So what have you learnt from this video?
    RECAP ON WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT TODAY

    We have learnt that Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.we have also learnt that though it has
    such proximity to the sun, it is definitely not the hottest. The side that faces the sun has an
    estimated temperature of 800°F (425°C) while the latter has a estimated temperature of -300°F (-
    185°C). It also does not not have a steady atmosphere.
