What would happen to a person if they traveled to the planet mercury?

Answer 1

You probably already know this by now but I am going to answer anyway... It depends entirely on the time of day, apparently temperatures vary between 200 and 800 degrees so if it was at night and you had a specially designed astronaught suit you could survive. During the day, when the sun is at it's hottest it could melt lead, so figure that one out for yourself! lol. Regarding oxygen levels, I think there is little or no air, so once again if you have an oxygen tank in your suit you could theorhetically survive the night. My advice would be to make sure Bill Gates had nothing to do with the manufacturing of your equiptment, haha.

Answer 2

They'll certainly die without a suit that can prevent such disaster.

Mercury's temperature ranges from 800 °F (425 °C) to -290 °F (-180 °C) depending on the time of the day, so you'll either be frozen to death or burned to death.

On a lighter note, Mercury's gravity is 1/3 that of Earth, meaning your weight will be 1/3 that of what appears on Earth.

Answer 3

There is no way you can survive on mercury because there is no atmosphere. Also no air, no water,no food,and the temperature is either to hot or to cold.

Answer 4

The atmosphere on Mercury is almost non-existent. Therefore a human would not be able to live on Mercury or even visit without the proper life support equipment.

Answer 5

You would probably either freeze to death or burn to death. The temperatures are constantly changing. It can sometimes range from -200 to 800 degrees (Fahrenheit)

Answer 6

You would burn to a crisp if it was day and you would freeze to death if it was night. That is if you have a spacesuit and you don't die of oxygen deprivation first.

Answer 7

You would burn up.
