The Full Story
Mercury is the fastest-moving planet around the Sun because it is the closest planet to it. Its orbital period is about 88 Earth days. That means a Mercury year is shorter than three months on Earth. Mercury's rapid orbit also helps create some of the biggest temperature extremes in the Solar System because it has almost no atmosphere to hold heat.
