What is the average temperature on Mercury in the measruments in digreese celciese?

The average temperature on Mercury is about 167 degrees Celsius. However, temperatures can vary significantly due to its lack of atmosphere; daytime temperatures can soar to around 430 degrees Celsius, while nighttime temperatures can plummet to about -180 degrees Celsius. This extreme range is a result of its slow rotation and proximity to the Sun.

What is the coldest inner planet mercury or mars?

Depends: Mercury has the lowest overall temperatures as night on the planet can reach -173C (-279F). However day time temperatures at the equator reach 426C (800F). Also, a full rotation on Mercury is 58.6 Earth days. Parts of Mercury's polar regions are never exposed to the sun and reach temps below -171C (-276F) during the entire Mercurial day. For absolute coldest temperatures reached: Mercury wins. For mean equatorial temperatures: Mars: -63C (-81F) Mercury: 67C (152F) For mean temperatures: Mars wins


How much hotter does it get on Venus' then on Mercury?

Venus is hotter than Mercury, with an average surface temperature of about 467°C compared to Mercury's average surface temperature of about 167°C. This is due to Venus' thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which creates a greenhouse effect that traps heat and raises temperatures to extreme levels.
