HARDCORE TO ZE MEGA
Is it, though?
Because the sun’s magnetic field pulled iron-rich particles inward during the planet-forming process, causing Mercury to accumulate a much higher proportion of metal compared to rock.
I don’t think we should be pointing out how big the cores of other planets are. Seems rude.
Because that’s where the flavor is.
It’s not. Mercury is hollow. Inside is Earth.
Jealous?
Look at Mercury’s core! It’s enormous! He’s not civilized, like us!
Lol
My guess is because it’s closer to the sun. Lighter elements got blown out by solar winds to outer parts of the solar system, while heavier elements(like metals) generally stayed in the middle
tidal forces maybe? *seems like no, i was thinking of it being molten, not big
Sigh. Googling used to be fun for me. But now I tend to get annoyed. Answers seem to contradict each other. I’ll leave this here - https://www.google.com/search?q=why+does+mercury+have+a+huge+core
I don’t know if astronomy.com is a good site plus it’s an old article: “November 26, 2012”.

I’m going to guess that the heat from the sun has stripped away all but the most robust elements from the surface.
Post guess reading:
Damn others had the theory but it’s been disproven
Sun keep it warm like those lamps at the Chinese buffet
I think it’s normal and the other planets just have weirdly small cores
big cores are usually the result of two planets crashing together.
because it does all those ab workouts, stretches, and planks, and balancing with good posture unlike you HGH bozos that just stand around drinking pre-workout and hitting your glamour muscles.
Is hot yo
everything is egg
