The apparent magnitude of Mercury varies because its brightness changes as it moves in its orbit about the sun. And the earth, from which we view Mercury and make a determination as regards it apparent magnitude, moves as well. It varies from -1.9 to 5.5 as we see it. (Some sources hold a -2.0 as a lower limit.) A link can be found below.

If you mean the planet Mars, that's +1.6 to -3.0. The fairly large variation is mainly due to the varying distance from Earth.
