Mercury is omitted because it’s only a bit bigger than the Moon and with its cratered surface it would look a lot like the Moon. The Earth would look like Venus except a little dimmer and much more colorful and interesting. (The surface of Venus is hidden beneath an almost featureless cloud layer.)
