	'''Mercury''' is the first planet from the [[Sun]] and the smallest in the [[Solar System\|solar system]], about the size of the [[Atlantic Ocean]]. It is named after the [[Rome\|Roman]] [[god]] of the same name, which also happens to be the namesake of the element '''mercury'''. The element mercury somehow has the symbol '''Hg''', from Greek ''hydrargyros'', roughly meaning "watery silver". I guess that makes sense, since mercury is a [[liquid]] at room temperature and its home planet is incredibly close to the very very hot Sun. A drop of mercury happens to look like a small [[THE BEAN\|bean]].
