That Cøunt, Ray Bumpkin, it's the other way around. The god Mercure was a messenger and very swift, with wings on his feet. The planet was named after him because if its speed.

It's the source of the word "mercurial" meaning quick.

Imagine if we had 87 day long years. Everyone would have to keep their seasonal decorations up at all times. lol

veritates loquitur, Correct. Inferior means less than. In this sense meaning that Mercury is closer to the Sun than Earth.

Gryphon, no, they meant what they stated. Anything within Earth's orbit is an inferior planet. outside of earth's orbit is superior planet.

I just figured that the planet nearest the sun would be the one travelling the shortest distance, therefore taking up the least amount of time.

Player #5602826, I don't think I could cope with Christmas that frequently, particularly the Christmas rush

love the routine by comedian Nate Bargatze where he talks about getting a D on a test in school because he left Pluto off the list of planets... "Turns out I should have gotten an A! Turns out I should have been teaching the class!!"

Player #5602826, Mercury rotates more slowly, however. One day= 58.646 of our earth days. So years are shorter, but days are more than twice as long!

Hmm, mythological god Mercury was fleet. Having the shortest time to orbit: is this why the innermost planet got that name?
