THE SMALLEST PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM AND NEAREST TO THE SUN ,MERCURY​ IS ONLY SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN EARTHS MOON.FROM THE SURFACE OF THE MERCURY,THE SUN WOULD APPEAR MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS LARGE AS IT DOES WHEN VIEWED FROM EARTH,AND THE SUNLIGHT WOULD BE AS MUCH

​AS SEVEN TIMES BRIGHTER

​DID YOU KNOW
