Mercury has very high temperatures and is made up of hard rock. We are like a newborn baby - our planet can't resist such high temperatures, and that is why we have an atmosphere. Mercury can resist all that from the sun.

Mercury's atmosphere is so tenuous as to sometimes be considered absent, or that the planet lacks one. Only trace amounts of some gases are detectable. It is sometimes referred to as the planet's exosphere - from which we could imply that, unlike Earth, 'space' begins at Mercury's surface. By contrast, the atmospheric pressure on Venus is over 90 times that of Earth at sea level.
