Athletic shoes, purses, electronics, perfumes and even art work can be found at bargain basement prices. Unfortunately, many of these goods are fake, counterfeit or knock-offs.. For the buyers, there's no real bargain. And for the sellers, there's a possibility of jail time and hefty fines if they're caught.
The âsiderealâ (relative to the stars) rotation rate of Mercury is 59 Earth days. If we could somehow watch Mercury through a telescope from a distant star, we would see it rotate one time every 59 days.
In order to escape the gravity of Mercury, you would need to be traveling 4.3 kilometers/second, or about 15,480 kilometers per hour. Compare this to Earth, where the escape velocity of our planet is 11.2 kilometers per second.
