Mercury: Does Its Atmosphere Contain Water?
Gary E Thomas ;
Date 22 Mar 1974
Journal Science, 183 (4130), 1197-1198
AbstractThe atmosphere of Mercury, like that of the moon, is maintained in an extremely tenuous minimum state by weak solar wind accretion and radioactive decay processes, and depleted by strong removal mechanisms. Unlike the moon, it has a high daytime surface temperature that promotes the production of water vapor, which may be the dominant atmospheric constituent derived from solar wind protons.
