Because Mercury has a very thin atmosphere, there is little heat transport. During the 88 days that one side is facing away from the Sun, the temperature can drop as low as -184 °C (-300 °F). Near the poles, there are perpetually cold spots in deep craters where sunlight never reaches.

How far in meters is mercury away from the sun?
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Mercury's orbit is not a perfect circle, so its distance from the sun varies. The minimum distance from the sun to Mercury is 28.5 million miles. The maximum distance is 43.5 million miles.
What is silver mercury worth?
The value of a Mercury silver dime varies depending on the year and condition. At a bare minimum they start at close to $1.85 each.
What are the units used to measure blood pressure?
Blood pressure is usually expressed in terms of the systolic (maximum) pressure over diastolic (minimum) pressure and is measured in millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg).
What is the temperature on mercury most of the time?
Mercury is very hot in the "daytime", but very cold during the "nights". So it's not possible to give a meaningful answer really. Typical maximum temperature: 430 degrees Celsius. Typical minimum temperature: Minus 170 degrees Celsius.
What is the actual use of six thermometer?
It consists of a U-shaped glass tube with two separate temperature scales set along each arm of the U. One of these is for recording themaximum temperature encountered and the other for the minimum temperature. The arms of the U-shaped tube terminate in sealed glass bulbs. The bulb at the top of the minimum reading scale arm is full of alcohol, the other contains a vacuum (or low pressure alcohol vapour). [1] [2] In the bend of the U is a section of mercury. This is pushed around the tube by the thermal expansion and contraction of the alcohol in the first bulb as it responds to the external temperature. The near vacuum in the other bulb allows free movement of the alcohol and mercury. It is the alcohol which measures the temperature; the mercury indicates the temperature reading on both scales. The thermometer shows a reading at the top of the mercury section on both the maximum and minimum scales; this shows the current temperature The maximum and minimum readings are recorded by two small steel markers which are sprung into the capillary tube so that they cannot easily slide unless a small force is applied to them. Before a maximum or minimum reading can be taken, both markers must be returned to the top of the mercury, usually by hand using a small magnet to slide them along the tube. Any change in temperature after that time will push one of the markers along with it. If the temperature is rising, then the maximum scale marker will be pushed. If it falls after the reset, then the moving mercury will push the minimum scale marker. Often both things happen one after another as the temperature changes, say through a twenty-four-hour period (see diurnal temperature variation). The markers thus record the furthest point reached by the mercury in each arm of the tube. They record the extremes of temperature experienced by the device since it was last reset. The thermometer is usually reset every day, but if left for longer the readings would show the highest and lowest temperatures encountered since the instrument was last reset. To take a reading, the positions of the ends of the markers nearest to the mercury are examined. Their positions on the maximum and minimum scales show the highest and lowest temperatures encountered over the period of measurement

What is the teprature in July on Mount Everest?

How many miles does it take to get from Mercury to the sun?
The distance between Mercury and the sun varies from a minimum of 46,000,000 km to a maximum of 69,817,000 km.
Why alcohol is used in maximum minimum thermometer?
alchohol has lower freezing point so it is used in minimum bulb,as it contracts the mercury bar rises in the minimum bulb..
