Apparently Mercury is so dense...it is believed to be 2/3 iron.

As you get closer to the Sun, it gets hotter and so the lighter elements and
compounds (and those that form gasses at lower temperatures) tend to get
boiled off.

1. Is there any evidence to suggest that Mercury might not have started
out
in its present location? (e.g. nature of orbit)

No.

2. Now for the dumb question: Is there a link between Mercury and the
Asteroid belt?

No.

3. What do u feel about a chocolate bar called Mercury? - Curry flavoured
one end and RADOX BLUE on the other.


I feel glad they aren't sold in Australia.
