Introduction

Terrestrial planets are planets with a hard surface which did develop from rocks or metals

substance. Within our solar system, there are four terrestrial planets with having molten heavy

metalcore; their topological features are volcanoes and craters as well as valleys. The planets are

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and they all happen to be of short proximity to the sun. Life

within our solar system is dependent on the fundamental changes in scientific researches and

continuous discoveries.

This study is forever of ever of great interest in the field of astronomy because, from it, scientists

gather information about most of the unanswered questions about the universe like the content of

the black hole, why is the sun's atmosphere layer hotter than its surface, how is the sun able to

produce the frequently reversing vast amounts of magnetic fields and many others. The study

conducted from this field is also useful in research about the life patterns on different planets and

how life evolves in them.

i. Mercury

Mercury is stated to be the smallest terrestrial planet within our solar system. It is almost a third

of the Earth’s size. The atmosphere of Mercury is the thinnest one, which facilitates its

characteristic of either burning or freezing temperatures and the low gravity of the planet has

been the biggest challenge to the survival of the atmosphere as it is very difficult to be contained

with the planet's surfaces. The presence of metals such as iron and nickel and a core composed of

iron makes Mercury a planet dense. The planet has not recorded the presence of any visible
