Mercury orbits the Sun closer than any other planet in the Solar System, so it is the hottest planet in the Solar System. The side facing the Sun can reach 427 degrees Celsius; the side facing away from the Sun can reach -173 degrees Celsius.

Too close to the sun for one thing. No oxygen or atmosphere and either very cold or very hot. Not a very nice place to live.
