Planet Mercury, the closest planet in our Solar System to it's parent star, Sol our Sun. This radiation-scorched planet has been blasted with solar winds for billions of years, giving it a radioactive surface and a tail of invisible charged particles lifted from this barren world which is very like Earth's own moon, which is similar in size to Mercury. Unlike the Earth's moon however, Mercury has an unusually high density and most likely has a very prominent Iron core and mantle and a weak magnetic field. Mercury, due to it's close proximity to the sun, also has a very eccentric orbit that does not obey classical Newtonian dynamics of planetary motion - Einstein's Theory of General Relativity is required to explain the orbital eccentricities due to the sun's warping of space and time as relativistic precession is a much more significant factor in Mercury's orbit, due to it's close distance to it's parent star compared to the other planet's in the Solar System.
