Mercury is closest planet to the Sun, and it is the smallest planet in the Solar System. Its proximity to the Sun gives the planet a huge range of temperatures. Because of its small size, cratered surface, and lack of a significant atmosphere, Mercury is often compared to Earth's Moon.Scientific Paper: Mercury: Magnetic Field and Magnetosphere
Quotes
"Scientists say the pictures reveal that the planet once had active volcanoes, and that Mercury is shrinking as it ages, leaving ridges reminiscent of wrinkles - strange features that may be a product of the planet's shrinking, cooling core."Popular Science: "The Incredible Shrinking Planet" (January 31, 2008)"The spacecraft also discovered a unique feature that scientists dubbed "The Spider." This formation never has been seen on Mercury before and nothing like it has been observed on the moon." NASA: NASA Spacecraft Streams Back Surprises From Mercury (January 30, 2008)
