Mercury is the smallest planet and the one closest to the Sun, so on this page the Sun peeks in from the corner. Its grey, rocky surface is covered in craters left by space rocks crashing into it, a lot like our Moon. Color the craters in different greys and browns, the Sun in yellow and orange, and the sky dark. A year on Mercury lasts only 88 Earth days.
