The first planet that is on our agenda is Mercury. Mercury was named after the messenger of the Roman gods. It's the smallest planet in our Solar System. Along, with many other planets, Mercury is a “terrestrial planet”. A terrestrial planet is a planet composed out of heavy metals and rock. Mercury also has a molten core that has higher iron content than any other planet. Since, Mercury doesn't have any weather or gasses to create wind we don’t have to worry about any plans being rescheduled. Mercury’s surface is solid and cratered which will serve as an advantage for our planned activities. Our games that are being held on this planet are especially great for large families. For example, Mercury has craters so we will be playing mini-golf. In addition, Mercury’s gravity is so weak that it can’t control an atmosphere, so we will visit our galaxy’s famous trampoline park. At the trampoline park we will have gymnastics and a foam pit where you can test your hidden talents.
