Shortly is an adverb.
courtly portly shortly tautly
That means ' You will be informed shortly'
Shortly is not a verb but instead is an adverb. An adverb is used to modify another adverb, phrase, clause, adjective or a verb. An example of shortly used in a sentence is, she left shortly after he did.
My suggestion is that "shortly" is an indicator of time, and "briefly" is an indicator of length/duration. This may be a bit confusing, so please look at the examples below. Ex. I will be at your office shortly (within a short time), so please wait for me. No: The students replied shortly. Yes: The students replied briefly. (Their answers were short, perhaps a few words only.) Ex. I spoke with the doctor briefly (a quick conversation), so I don't have all the details. No: Are you coming, how long will it take you? I will be there briefly. (Meaning, I will be there for a small amount of time, but this doesn't answer the question of how long to arrive.) Yes: Are you coming? Yes, I will be there shortly, but if you are in a rush, you can go ahead without me. Hope this helps :)

You will never see Mercury on a dark sky. The reason is that Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and so we can only see it shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset. The sky is always still fairly light.
