MERCURY
Mercury—the smallest planet in our solar system and nearest to the Sun—is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. Its surface is covered in tens of thousands of impact craters. From the surface of Mercury, the Sun would appear more than three times as large as it does when viewed from Earth, and the sunlight would be as much as 11 times brighter. Despite its proximity to the Sun, Mercury is not the hottest planet in our solar system— that title belongs to nearby Venus, thanks to its dense atmosphere. But Mercury is the fastest planet, zipping around the Sun every 88 Earth days. Mercury is appropriately named for the swiftest of the ancient Roman gods.
Tourism In Mercury
Tourism on Mercury presents a unique and challenging opportunity for adventurous space travelers. While the harsh conditions of Mercury make it a far less hospitable destination compared to other celestial bodies like the Moon, Mars, or even the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, there could still be potential for niche and extreme tourism experiences.

Aurora in Mercury
Mercury has a very thin atmosphere and auroras on the planet are created when solar wind, the stream of particles, interact directly with the planet's surface. It will remind you of the auroras back home on Earth, but it diffusely covers the whole sky and is brightest toward the horizon.
