Well, darling, it's difficult to observe Mercury from Earth because it's always close to the Sun in the sky. Plus, it's a quick little bugger zipping around the Sun, making it hard to spot unless it's at just the right angle. So basically, good luck trying to catch Mercury in the act—it's like playing cosmic hide-and-seek. Cheers!
Mercury is the planet often hidden in the sun's glare due to its close proximity to the sun. Its orbit lies within Earth's orbit, so it is sometimes difficult to observe it in the bright sunlight.
Astronomers find it difficult to see Mercury because it is close to the sun, making it challenging to observe against the sun's bright glare. Additionally, Mercury's orbit is close to the sun, so it is often only visible in the early morning or evening sky when the sun is low on the horizon.
Mercury
Earth's Equatorial circumference is 40,075.02 km Mars' Equatorial circumference is 3,396.2 km. Earth is bigger.
Varying from the the distance from the Earth to the Moon + the distance from the sun to the earth + the distance from mercury to the sun, to the distance from the earth to the sun - the distance from mercury to the sun - the distance from the earth to the moon
Scientists do not observe Mercury as often because it is difficult to do so.

Pluto is difficult to observe from Earth because it is about 3.66 billion miles away, and only appears as a faint point of light.
It closeness to the sun makes viewing Mercury very difficult, it appears close to the sun in the sky from earth and the glare of the sun comes into play. Its also small, the smallest of the eight planets and we can only see a reduced portion of its surface usually as it orbits insides earths orbit. We see it from the side, with half of it illuminated when it is at the best angle relative to the sun and Earth for viewing.
Why is it difficult for astronomors to learn about mercury
Yes, all of the planets in from the earth display phases when viewed form earth.

It is because Mercury is close to the Sun and that makes it difficult to see. I saw it at New Year 2015 but it had vanished a few days later.
Mercury's diameter is about a third that of Earth.
Yes, human electric lighting is polluting the night sky.
Mercury's gravity is 38% of that on Earth.
Mercury is 57.9x106km from Earth.
