Planet Mercury has shrunk in size  |
|
I was just browsing the latest headlines on the net..and i came across the interesting piece of news that planet mercury has shrunk in size by more than 1.5 kms..
Really i can't believe this.. Data from a flyby of Mercury in January 2008 show the planet has contracted by more than one mile (1.5km) in diameter over its history.
Scientists attribute that reason might be the planets core has cooled out..
This still creates in me a greater confusion.. because the planet mercury is close to the sun.. and it has greater temperature than that of the other planets.. If the core of Mercury could cool.. and there is a reduction in size.. will not the planets farther from the Sun.. like Neptune and Pluto... has its size contracted..?
Might be some logics involved...do you know friends?

1.  hiccup (4429) | 2 months ago |  That was good stuff, I like things like that, I wonder if the earths core will ever cool (way things are I would think so), and how much the earth would shrink by,,,
New Zealand is an Island as you all know but it is an Island that is still growing.
On one side of the Island its white sand and on the other side of the Island its dark metal grey.
Now what they tell me is the white sand is old sand and the grey sand is new sand (how many millions of years who knows)
The new sand (grey) is still building, its still adding to the size of New Zea land's coast line.
Now some years back I seen this but I only had a chance to visit the North Island.
For those who do not know New Zealand, Let me say, "Lord of the RINGS" All the mountains were New Zealand and those Beautiful shots are that land.
You need to come down under, do Australia, and New Zealand, best money ever spent,

| 3. faith210 (6752) | 2 months ago |  Hi saivenkaat802003! Yes, I do agree so. Logic dictates that the other planets could have shrunk too and maybe our planet too. However, other planets including ours, may have some other characteristics that could have repelled such effect. However, i am no scientist and I am no expert on this things; so just ignore my response because I just wanted to say HI to you my friend! haha..
Take care and God bless!
