Space Flight to Mercury

Flying through space is a lot like being on a long car ride. You sit in a chair for a long time, staring out the window. Instead of feeling the warmth of the sun, you're feeling the burr of cold space. But it's still an amazing journey! Welcome to your trip to Mercury!

When exploring Mercury, you might see sand dunes on the surface. These sand dunes are created by the wind. The wind on Mercury is caused by the planet's rotation. As the planet rotates, the sand is blown around and creates dunes that might resemble a wave.

On your trip, you're sure to see a blanket of stars.The sky of Mercury is definitely not the periwinkle blue color you're accustomed to on Earth.

When you finally reach your destination, you might want to put on some sunscreen. The sun is much closer to Mercury than it is to Earth. This means that the sun's rays are much more intense. You might also want to wear shades to protect your eyes from the bright sunlight.

Even though space is cold and there is no air, it still makes for an interesting trip. And with a little planning, you can have a great time on your space flight.
