The cutaway diagram from our interactive page of facts about Mercury, drawn in black and white for printing. A quarter of Mercury is cut away to show its layers, and leader lines connect each label to its part: the crust, the thin rocky mantle, the giant iron core that fills about 85 percent of the planet, the Caloris Basin, the long cliffs called scarps, the bright crater rays and the icy craters at the poles.
Thin outer layers are drawn thicker than scale so children can see them. Use it as a notebook page next to the planet's fact profile, or as a guide for a planet report. To see where Mercury sits among its neighbors, print the solar system printable.
Tips for using it
- Mercury's core is so large that the cutaway is mostly metal; point this out, since it is what makes Mercury the second densest planet.
- Turn the sheet into a quiz by covering the labels with sticky notes.
