Question

1. which of the following does not describe a characteristic of mercury? it completes its orbit around the sun in 88 days. it has an extreme tilt of 33.5 degrees. it experiences extremely high and low temperatures. it does not have an atmosphere.

Explanation:

Mercury has a very small axial tilt (about \(0.01^\circ\)), not \(33.5^\circ\). It orbits the Sun in 88 days, has extreme temperature variations (due to lack of atmosphere to regulate temperature), and essentially has no significant atmosphere.

Answer:

It has an extreme tilt of 33.5 degrees.
