 Introduction to Enlightenment
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun
and the smallest one in the entire Solar
System. Contrary to popular belief, this
planet's name has nothing to do with the
liquid metal. Mercury was, instead, named
after the famous Roman messenger god
Mercurius
Mercury takes a little more than 58 days
to complete its rotation, so try to imagine
how long days must be there! Since the
temperatures are so extreme, albeit not as
extreme as on Venus, Mercury has been
deemed to be non-habitable for humans

the second planet from the Sun.
It’s hot and has a poisonous
atmosphere

planet to the Sun and the and is the second planet actually a cold place. It’s
smallest of them all from the Sun full of iron oxide dust
 Factors that led to the Enlightenment

Mars Venus
