Exploring Mercury and Venus: Temperature Extremes and Atmospheric Composition

Dive into the fascinating details of Mercury and Venus in this exploration of our inner solar system. Discover Mercury's extreme temperatures, ranging from 950°F on the sunlit side to -346°F in the shadows, as it orbits the Sun at a distance of 36 million miles. Then, learn about Venus, with temperatures fluctuating between 55°F and 396°F, and its thick atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and sulfuric acid. This overview highlights the unique characteristics of these two neighboring planets.
