Also, it will not be visible when it is between the Sun and the Earth because the light from the Sun will obscure it. When Mercury and the Earth form nearly a right angle, with the Sun at the vertex, then Mercury will be visible at around sunrise or sunset - depending on which side of the sun it is.
