Because Mercury is nearest to the sun, which gives more heat and gravitational pull. It is also the smallest and second-densest and has the greatest day and night temperature variations. It also has the oldest surface. Besides earth, it is the only terrestrial (rock like; not a gas planet) planet that has a global internal magnetic field.
