A Map of Mercury by Eleanor Lutz
Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet in the solar system - less than half the diameter of the Earth. Mercury is also the closest planet to the sun and completes a full orbit revolution in just 88 Earth days.

INTERIOR STRUCTURE: Mercury is a heavily cratered planet with no atmosphere and a surprisingly dense internal structure. At least part of Mercury's metallic core is probably liquid metal, and the size of this core is about the same size as Earth's moon.
