What Does The Planet Mercury Look Like?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Tamcool, if you mean what it looks like from the earth, a look through a telescope shows it to be just a bright round spot. At certain times, you can see it in the western sky right after sunset and on the eastern side just before sunrise. It may be seen as a black spot against the sun when it is right in between the earth and the sky which happens every 3-13 years.
    Now, zooming in a little bit, the surface of Mercury looks much like the structure of the moon. It is complete with craters and huge plains that covered in silicates.
