Yes.

Most high quality resistors has got a sixth band of colour.

This band indicates Temperature Coefficient in PPM (Parts per million).

These resistors typically only rise in value within their specified range of temperature.

Note:

All resistors vary slightly whether they are marked with temperature coefficient or not. Those unmarked colorful resistors typically have a TC of 200 PPM or more. The problem with the unmarked resistors is also that we do not know exactly how they behave when being exposed to higher temperature. Most will have increased values. Some will have decreased values. Others will have a combination of these for different temperatures.

Color codes used on resistors are:

Why is atmosphere absent in mercury?

Mercury has very high temperatures and is made up of hard rock. We are like a newborn baby - our planet can't resist such high temperatures, and that is why we have an atmosphere. Mercury can resist all that from the sun.
