Grab your calculators as you are going to be astonished!
Who Is Your Planetary Person on Mercury?
This planet is the closest one to the Sun. Because of this location, it doesn’t have an atmosphere to help it retain its heat. Depending on which part of Mercury you landed on you could instantly freeze as the temperature plummets below -328 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 degrees Celsius). On the other side of Mercury you could sizzle away as the temperature rises to a whopping 750 degrees Fahrenheit (400 degrees Celsius).
What is your Solar Size on Mercury? Take your weight and multiply it by the gravitational pull, which is 0.38. For example, if you weigh 55 pounds on Earth your weight is 20.9 pounds on Mercury.
What is Your Space Age? Since one Mercury year is 0.0241 earth years, take your age and divide it by 0.0241. For example, if you are 9 years-old here on Earth, you would be 373 Mercury years-old.
