Because Mercury has such a thin atmosphere temperatures can get extreme. Usually, the side of Mercury that is facing the Sun is about 427degrees C. While the other side of Mercury that is not facing the sun is about -173 degrees C. Humans would mot be able to survive there because no matter what side we would be on, we would either be burned up, or frozen to death.
