Liquid water is essential to life as we know it. Mercury orbits at less than half the Earth's distance from the Sun. This puts it within the "hot zone" where solar heating is too intense for a planet to have liquid surface water like Earth's oceans. Earth is in the "habitable zone" where temperatures are warm enough to keep water liquid, but not so hot that it boils away.

Does Mercury have any living thing on it?
The surface temperature of Mercury ranges from over 400 degrees F. in the daytime to -200 F. (that's below zero) at night. In addition to that, Mercury is constantly bombarded with hard radiation because of its close proximity to the sun and its lack of a strong magnetic field to deflect it. It would be hard to imagine a place much less hospitable to life.
Why is mercury usually hard to see without a telescope?
Mercury is usually hard to see without a telescope because it orbits close to the sun, which means it is only visible shortly after sunset or before sunrise when the sun's brightness doesn't drown it out. Additionally, its small size and proximity to the sun make it appear close to the horizon, where atmospheric distortion can make it harder to spot with the naked eye.
Why do you think it is hard for astronmers on Earth to lear about mercury?

Did mars have life along time ago?
