June 4 2021 Carolyn Ernst MExAG ViceChair The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory Notes These slides represent the inputs of the MExAG Steering Committee and lessons learned from the recent Mercury Lander Planetary Mission Concept Study PMCS. , Venus, . Mars. Part I. Lecture 20. Observing Mercury and Venus from . Earth. Elongations of Mercury. Mercury . moves around the Sun every 88 days in a rather eccentric orbit. As seen from the Earth, the angle between Mercury and the Sun at greatest eastern or western elongation can be as large as 28° (when Mercury is near aphelion) or as small as 18° (near perihelion). By contrast, Venus follows a larger, nearly circular orbit with a 224.7-day period. The angle between Venus and the Sun at eastern or western elongation is 47°.. The Totally Terrific T’s. Taylee Shomo and Tyler Liebentritt. Inner Planet. Mercury is an Inner Planet. Inner planets are rocky like Mercury. Inner Planets including Mercury don’t have solar rings. ☿. By. . James. . Chen.
