What If You Spent 5 Seconds on Mercury

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

Mercury is a strange, hot mess of a planet. This rock is closest to the Sun, but its surface temperatures can plummet to as low as -180 C (-290 F. It has the strangest sunrises and sunsets in the entire Solar System. And one day on this planet lasts about two years. But you don't have to survive a whole day down there. We're sending our team member Chase on a mission to spend just 5 seconds on Mercury. While it has an 88 day orbit, Mercury also has a 59 day rotation period. So heat and cold are nearly constant on one side or the other of Mercury. As noted, half of it can reach low temperatures as low as -290 degree in the shade but it can, on the Sun side, reach temperatures of 800 degrees. So your question depends upon which side you are on when you expose yourself. Frankly, I'd stay away from Mercury, Venus and possibly Mars. Earth is where it's at, ya'll

Send him to Neptune. Its raining diamonds there. He won't have to ever work again. But, he will have to face the -369 degree celcius and 1500mph wind speeds first. No pain, no gain.

Smallest planet in the solar system. Wasn't the declassification of Pluto being known as an official planet was because of how small it was.
