Mercury has a rocky surface, it is the closest planet to the sun in the solar system (however not the hottest). There are only 4 gas giants in our solar system, (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus) how ever astronomers have discovered many other gas planets orbiting other stars in the galaxy. Hope this helps you:)

What are Mercury's surface conditions?
Mercury's surface conditions are very much like the moon's surface conditions. Light areas and dark areas... It is very hot on Mercury, as it is very close to the Sun. But, surprisingly, it is not the hottest planet. Venus is the hottest planet...but let's not get there, shall we? It is basically impossible to stand on Mercury as it is just a ball of gas. The surface of Mercury is solid. It's never gaseous. The surface temperature can go as high as 840 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not hot enough to form a gas out of solid rock. It is hot enough to melt some metals.
