This Explorable Scene transports viewers to the surface of rocky planet Mercury. The smallest planet of the Solar System, and the closest to the Sun, the view from this world feels very different to Earth. One day on Mercury lasts 176 Earth days, allowing surface temperatures to soar to an extreme 430 degrees Celsius (800 degrees Fahrenheit), and then drop to minus 180 degrees Celsius (290 degrees Fahrenheit) during the long nights. Add to that the high levels of radiation from the Sun, and you will see that Class VR is the safe way to experience standing on the surface of Mercury!
