Mercury has no real atmosphere and the temperature on the surface is from 80,000 to 700,000 degrees.
Mercury has no real atmosphere and the temperature on the surface is from 80,000 to 700,000 degrees.
hot and hostile
The main reason is that Mercury has almost no atmosphere which would hold the heat in. So the temperature on the side which is facing away from the Sun can plummet.
No. Mercury is a metal that is liquid at room temperature. Melting point is  -38.83° C (ie a solid below this temperature) Boiling Point is 356.73 °C (ie a gas above this temperature) (All at 1 atmosphere pressure)
No atmosphere
Mercury has nearly no atmosphere. Without an atmosphere, Mercury cannot reflect sunlight or trap heat. This is the reason why days on Mercury are very hot and nights are very cold. In the daytime, the solar energy directly strikes the planet's surface because there is no atmosphere to reflect heat, making a sizzling temperature of 427 Celsius (800 Fahrenheit). At night, without an atmosphere to trap heat, the solar energy escapes quickly into space, resulting in a freezing temperature of -173 Celsius (-290 Fahrenheit).
Venus has a thick atmosphere. Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
Mercury has not atmosphere, resulting in extreme temperature variations.
No, Mercury has no atmosphere. Without an Atmosphere planets cannot trap heat. This is the reason why Mercury's temperature changes drastically from day and night.
Mercury
Because it doesn't have an atmosphere or its atmosphere is very thin
Jupiter(: <----WRONG! It is Mercury.
No, Mercury is not at all suitable for life. It has no atmosphere and no water, and has horrific temperature extremes.
Mercury has a high surface temperature and a low mass
Mercury has a high surface temperature and a low mass
Not any life that we know of. Besides the obvious temperature problems, there is no atmosphere, and no water on Mercury.
Planet with an atmosphere, Venus. Planet without an atmosphere, Mercury (on the day side).
The planet Mercury is very close to the sun, but it has a very thin atmosphere. So, Mercury lacks an atmosphere in order to hold the Sun's heat.
Venus. It is further away to the sun than Mercury, but Mercury has a thin atmosphere. Venus has a very thick, toxic atmosphere that traps all the sun's heat.
