Mercury (planet)

by Lewis Carroll
written by Lewis Carroll

Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system and the closest to the Sun. It is generally believed that the name was given in honor of Mercury, the ancient Roman god of commerce. It was nicknamed fast because of the fact that it moves across the sky faster than other planets. Its average orbital time around the Sun is only 87.97 Earth days, which is the shortest period of all the planets in the solar system.
