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!

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.
