This is a fascinating theory: the solar system used to have a huge planet between the Sun and Mercury. It cleared out debris from the inner solar system, leaving Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars stunted and starved for matter. Then orbital migration of Jupiter and Saturn stole its angular momentum and landed it in the Sun.
I haven’t read the original paper (yet) so I don’t know if this is just a speculative theory or if there are orbital simulations that study the feasibility of this idea.

Very amazing
Asslam o alaikum
its bull crap peeps Super earth
T G I F that super earth is merely computer generated
Mercury is thought to have been hit by another planet and it blew off the other layers of rock and left the core that’s why mercury is like a big ball bearing its almost entirely made of iron
barry love That’s interesting, I actually had never heard that and looked it up after your comment. Mercury does have an unusually large iron core.
Trillest one No, as I said above it’s just an idea that might explain why our inner solar system seems different from the new planet-rich star systems that have been discovered in the last decade
yeah it’s actually the densest planet in the solar system with a
very thin Rock skin
Na man
