How to play

Tap it to spin it fast in the sunlight.

Notes

It races around the Sun once every 88 days.

Tap it and it spins once, fast, while the side facing the Sun glows red-hot and shimmers, then cools. The real Mercury turns slowly, and it has almost no air to hold heat, so its day side gets hot enough to melt lead, about 430 degrees Celsius, while its night side drops to about minus 180 degrees.
