Well, light intensity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source. Based on the lengths of the semi-major axes of the orbits of Earth and Mercury, I figure the sunlight hitting Mercury is about 6.67 times as intense as the sunlight hitting Earth, disregarding what is filtered by our atmosphere, which is probably negligible.
