Study of Mercury – Astronomy Essay
Suppose mercury is our home planet(Although it is not possible)but we concive by the imaginary that, we are animal of mercury planet. then A.U and Orbital period will be of other planet is:-
Planet A.U Orbital period
——- ——- —————–
Mercury 1 88 Days
Venus 1.86 223.16 Days
Earth 2.58 364.6 Days
Mars 3.93 685.5 Days
Jupiter 13.34 4335.76 Days
Saturn 24.64 10762.4 Days
Uranus 49.51 30693.5 Days
Neptune 77.89 60499.2 Days
About the deflection of planetary winds:-
Infact, durinal motion of Mercury is very slow. For this slow motion, there is no deflection of matters on Mercury. Hence, Mercury has no deflection of planetary winds.
Suppose the 1st days Mercury enters on Aries then 29.4 Days enters cancer, 51.5 days Libra, 73.5 Days capricornius and again 88 days enter on Aries.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL BE REQUIRED FOR COMING OF LIGHT FROM SUN TO MERCURY
AND MERCURY TO OTHER PLANET?
Sun to Mercury 3.2 minutes
Mercury to Venus 2.7 minutes
Mercury to Earth 5.0 minutes
Mercury to Mars 9.4 minutes
Mercury to Jupiter 40 minutes
Mercury to Saturn 1.2 Hour
Mercury to Uranus 2.6 Hour
Mercury to Neptune 4.1 Hour
AN AVERAGE DISTNCE OF MERCURY FROM THE SUN IS 57900000 KM(APPROX)SO WHAT IS DISTANCE OF MERCURY TERMS OF LIGHT-YEAR?
Light year of mercury is 6.1*10^-6 ly.
COMPARE OF AXIAL ROTATION PERIOD BETWEEN THE EARTH AND MERCURY:-

3 Hours 177 Hours 45 Degrees
6 Hours 354 Hours 90 Degrees
12 Hours 708 Hours 180 Degrees
24 Hours 1416 Hours 360 Degrees
Note:- Axial rotation period of earth and Mercury is respectively 24
Hours and 1416(59Days).
