#The mass of Mercury is 3.301*10^23 kg.
#It's atmosphere is mainly composed of Oxygen(42%), Sodium(29%) and Hydrogen(22%).
#Mercury is Shrinking day by day because it's iron core is cooling, which is making it solid.
#The first spacecraft to visit Mercury was Mariner 10 which was launched by NASA.
#The Surface Temperature of the Mercury ranges from -180 degrees celsius to 430 degrees celsius.
#The Mercury has no atmosphere on it and it does not have any moons.
