Mercury masses

dimension	mass

This unit represents the mass of Mercury.

Mercury is first planet from the Sun and the smallest one.

The planet lost basically all its atmosphere a long time ago and is now not dissimilar to the Moon, a grey rock studded with craters.

The temperature at the surface ranges from a scorching heat up to 427 °C on the sunward side and down to a chilling cold at -193 °C after sunset. It is not the planet with the highest surface temperature in the solar system though, this honor belongs to Venus.

Value

The mass of Mercury is 3.3011×10²³ kilograms.

Note: The values used in this converter are borrowed from the Planetary Fact Sheets.

Some Facts

Mercury is the lightest planet in the Solar System with less than 4.5 times the mass of the Moon and 5.5% the mass of Earth. Gravity at its surface is only a third of Earth gravity.

The International Mass and Length Units

The International Mass and Length Units are units based on the international yard and the international pound.

They were created in 1959 when Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States of America agreed upon a common definition of the yard and the pound.
