Mercury is nicknamed 'quicksilver' because, at room temperature, Mercury is a silver-colored liquid that is heavier than water. For this reason, Mercury rolls faster than water and is attracted to itself more quickly.

Mercury is known as the "Swift Planet" because it orbits the Sun at a very fast speed, completing one orbit in just 88 Earth days. Its swift movement across the sky gave rise to this nickname.
