Well, honey, from that toasty-hot shithole called Mercury, the Sun would appear about three times larger and ten times brighter compared to what us Earthlings see. In other words, it's gonna roast your eyeballs faster than your microwave warms up a TV dinner. Hope you packed your sunscreen because you'll be closer to the Sun than your mother-in-law to meddling in your business.
why do you need to know
From Mercury, the sun would appear much larger and brighter than it does from Earth due to Mercury's closer proximity to the sun. The sun would also move faster across the sky, completing a full day in about 176 Earth days.
Well friend, if you were standing on Mercury and looking up at the Sun, it would appear about twice as big as it does here on Earth. Imagine the majestic colors dancing across the sky as the Sun's beautiful light shines down upon that powerful little planet, helping plants and creatures thrive. Let's paint a gorgeous scene together with gentle, loving strokes.
On Mercury, the sun appears much larger and brighter than it does on Earth due to the planet's proximity to the sun. The sun would appear about two and a half times larger in the sky on Mercury compared to how it appears from Earth.
Mercury Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun, at an average distance from the Sun of about 58 million kilometers. By comparison, Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun, while Pluto, the furthest planet, averages an enormous 5.9 billion kilometers away! If you were standing on Mercury, the Sun would appear much larger than it does on Earth. And since the Sun-Mercury distance varies so much during Mercury's orbit, the Sun would appear larger at some times than at others.

If you were on Mercury, the Sun would be huge!
because ...when you look at the sun it hurts your eyes....and it would be harder to see the planet!
From Mercury, the sun would appear much larger and brighter than it does from Earth due to Mercury's closer proximity to the sun. The sun would also move faster across the sky, completing a full day in about 176 Earth days.
It would look approximately 2 1/2 times larger than it does on Earth.
From the distance of Pluto, the Sun would look like a very bright star.
The planet Mercury. At a distance of 28½ to 43 million kilometers from the Sun, it is only about a third as far from the Sun as Earth and receives commensurately higher solar radiation. At its closest to the Sun, Mercury receives heat and light ten times more intense that on the Earth, that would be about 13 kW per square metre. Seem from the back of Mercury, the part that faces away fom the Sun, the Earth would look like a bright planet with a dimmer object, the Moon, up to about 0.15º from it at maximum.

Extremely hot as Mercury is the closest to the Sun
It would look like a solar eclipse - Earth would cover the Sun.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and has a rocky, cratered surface. It is located about 36 million miles (58 million kilometers) away from the sun on average, making it the closest planet to the sun.
Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
