Best Answer

Yes.

The melting point of lead is 327.46 °C.

The temperature of lava is definitely greater than that. hence it can melt lead.

Is mercury hot enough to melt lead?

If you mean the chemical element Mercury, then no; mercury and lead are separate elements. At high enough temperatures, they can be melted together, but because mercury is liquid at room temperature they probably wouldn't stay combined.If you mean whether the planet Mercury contains the element lead, then the answer is that it almost certainly does. The core of Mercury is dense and metallic, and lead (like all elements up through uranium) was present at the formation of the solar system.

Which planet 's surface's is hot enough to melt lead?

the hottest planet is not the planet nearest to the sun, which is mercury. it is venus, the second nearest. it is very hot on venus because, unlike mercury, venus has an atmosphere. the atmosphere acts rather like the windows in a greenhouse, and helps to heat the surface of the planet. the temperature there is about 900 degrees, which i shot enough to melt several metals.


Does planet Mercury melted?

Mercury only takes 88 days to go around the sun but if it is closest to the Sun it could melt a little bit. Scientists believe that Mercury in future will melt and will die. I don't know. People will see Mercury through telescopes but it is nearly smaller then Pluto!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MERCURY DOES MELT!!!!!!!!!!
