Mercury is both a hot and a cold planet. During the day, it gets 750 degrees Fahrenheit but at night it drops to below -300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mercury is close to the Sun and has no atmosphere, so the Sun's powerful rays can easily heat the surface. However, on the side away from the Sun, all of the heat is radiated off into space.
Because the planet turns so slowly, each period of daytime or night is approximately 88 Earth days in length.
The planet Mercury does not rotate on an axis relative to the Sun. Consequently, the side facing the Sun is very hot while the back of the planet away from the Sun, never receiving warming sunlight is relatively cold. Or so it was thought, it has now been pr oven that Mercury does rotate, albeit very slowly. It is close to the sun and lacks a protective atmosphere
I would say - it is KNOWN that Mercury rotates only once in about 58.6 Earth days. So, for many days, one side is facing the Sun with the little planet having a backside that is frozen - fire on one side and ice on t'other.
Also, there's no atmosphere and no oceans to spread heat to the "dark side".
mercurys atmosphere is hot when niko serdenes is there and cold when he leaves and lena takes his place.
There is virtually no atmosphere on Mercury: the planet's gravity is too weak to hold on to any atmosphere.
No, it is just right.

Hot-it's closest to Sun.

Mercury has no atmosphere so it is EXTREMELY hot in sunny side and EXTREMELY cold in parts of the planet

Mercury's temperature is so hot during the day because the atmosphere in Mercury is very thin, allowing a lot of heat to take in during the day and so cold at night because the atmoshere at night cannot hold the heat so it becomes extremly cold quickly. =) Thank you so much..... I hope I have the right answer
Uranus is cold and mercury is hot.
Yes. It is a great planet. I would live there if it wasn't so hot! It is so cold.

because mercury is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night
The answer is: when it is kept so the mercury level in the tube increases showing the temperature
Mercury is put in a tube the Mercury expands when it is hot and compacts when cold.
sense it does not spin on it's axis its both hot and cold. the side facing the sun is hot and the side away is relatively cold
