    bonus:Mercury is a chemical element with the symbol Hg and atomic number 80. It is also known as quicksilver or hydrargyrum (from “hydr-” water and “argyros” silver). A heavy, silvery d-block element, mercury is the only metal that is liquid at standard conditions for temperature and pressure; the only other element that is liquid under these conditions is bromine, and metals such as caesium, francium, gallium, and rubidium melt just above room temperature. With a freezing point of −38.83 °C and boiling point of 356.73 °C, mercury has one of the narrowest ranges of its liquid state of any metal.[1][2][3]
    Mercury occurs in deposits throughout the world mostly as cinnabar (mercuric sulfide). The red pigment vermilion is mostly obtained by reduction from cinnabar. Cinnabar is highly toxic by ingestion or inhalation of the dust. Mercury poisoning can also result from exposure to water-soluble forms of mercury (such as mercuric chloride or methylmercury), inhalation of mercury vapor, or eating seafood contaminated with mercury.
    Mercury is used in thermometers, barometers, manometers, sphygmomanometers, float valves, some electrical switches, and other scientific apparatus, though concerns about the element’s toxicity have led to mercury thermometers and sphygmomanometers being largely phased out in clinical environments in favor of alcohol-filled, galinstan-filled, digital, or thermistor-based instruments. It remains in use in scientific research applications and in amalgam material for dental restoration. It is used in lighting: electricity passed through mercury vapor in a phosphor tube produces short-wave ultraviolet light which then causes the phosphor to fluoresce, making visible light.

    my sugestions are playing football, baseball, basketball, and soccer.here is some extra information
    Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, orbiting at only 57.9 million km. It’s classified as one of the “rocky” or terrestrial planets of the Solar System. But what is Mercury made of? How does Mercury’s composition compare to the other planets in the Solar System.

    Scientists believe that Mercury has an interior composition similar to Earth. Mercury has a large core of liquid metal surrounded by a mantle of silica and a solid outer crust. In the case of Mercury, though, the core accounts for 42% of the planet, while Earth’s core is only 17%.

    It’s difficult to know the actual interior composition of Mercury. Scientists know that it has a density of 5.427 grams per cubic centimeter. This is only a little less than our own planet. That means that Mercury has an interior metal core, and the rest is rock. In fact, Mercury’s core is thought to have a higher iron content than any other planet in the Solar System. It’s believed that Mercury used to be similar in composition to a chondrite meteorite, but then it was struck by a planetesimal early in its history that stripped away its outer crust and mantle. The remaining planet was much denser.

    Astronomers were unsure if Mercury’s core was solid or liquid until recently. They bounced radio signals off the surface of the planet and measured how long they took to return. They determined that Mercury was wobbling at a rate you would expect if its core was liquid and not solid.

    Mercury’s surface is similar in appearance to the Moon, with large basins and impact craters. The largest crater is Caloris Basin, measuring 1,550 km across. The impact that created Caloris Basin sent shock waves around the planet, causing volcanic activity on the opposite point of the impact.

    We have written many stories about what is Mercury made out of here on Universe Today. Here’s an article about a the discovery that Mercury’s core is liquid. And how Mercury is actually less like the Moon than previously believed.

    If you’d like more information on Mercury, check out NASA’s Solar System Exploration Guide, and here’s a link to NASA’s MESSENGER Misson Page.

    We have also recorded a whole episode of Astronomy Cast that’s just about planet Mercury. Listen to it here, Episode 49: Mercury.

    Qué es el mercurio hecho

    This weekend I will play outside.

    Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System,[a] orbiting the Sun once every 87.969 Earth days. The orbit of Mercury has the highest eccentricity of all the Solar System planets, and it has the smallest axial tilt. It completes three rotations about its axis for every two orbits. The perihelion of Mercury’s orbit precesses around the Sun at an excess of 43 arcseconds per century, a phenomenon that was explained in the 20th century by Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.[11] Mercury is bright when viewed from Earth, ranging from −2.3 to 5.7 in apparent magnitude, but is not easily seen as its greatest angular separation from the Sun is only 28.3°. Since Mercury is normally lost in the glare of the Sun, unless there is a solar eclipse it can be viewed from Earth’s Northern Hemisphere only in morning or evening twilight, while its extreme elongations occur in declinations south of the celestial equator, such that it can be seen at favorable apparitions from moderate latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere in a fully dark sky.
    Comparatively little is known about Mercury; ground-based telescopes reveal only an illuminated crescent with limited detail. The first of two spacecraft to visit the planet was Mariner 10, which mapped about 45% of its surface from 1974 to 1975. The second is the MESSENGER spacecraft, which attained orbit around Mercury on March 17, 2011,[12] to map the rest of the planet.[13]
    Mercury is similar in appearance to the Moon: it is heavily cratered with regions of smooth plains, has no natural satellites and no substantial atmosphere. Unlike the Moon, it has a large iron core, which generates a magnetic field about 1% as strong as that of the Earth.[14] It is an exceptionally dense planet due to the large relative size of its core. Surface temperatures range from about 90 to 700 K (−183 °C to 427 °C),[15] with the subsolar point being the hottest and the bottoms of craters near the poles being the coldest.

This first week of 2012 has been really good because I’m learning 3 digit and 4 digit more. :) I’m going to Zachary’s house for the weekend. Mrs. Rogo what are you going to for the weekend? I have like have 3 suggestion’s and they are ride your bike, shoot hoops, and run.
