It’s because it’s not only closest to the sun but it also can’t hold heat!
i hope this helps!!
At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury (facing the sun) can reach 700K (430'C).
The surface temperature of the sun is approximately 5,500 degrees Celsius, or 9,932 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and gets sunlight 7 times more intense that Earth does, so the sunlit side is VERY hot. But Mercury rotates very slowly, taking 1.5 "Mercury years" for one "Mercury day". So the dark side of Mercury gets very cold, because the heat radiates away into space.
Venus has a surface temperature of around 470 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest planet in our solar system due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat. The extreme temperatures on Venus are hot enough to melt lead.
Mercury's side that faces the Sun can reach temperatures of up to about 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius). This extreme heat occurs because Mercury has a very thin atmosphere, which cannot retain heat. However, the side facing away from the Sun can drop to around -330 degrees Fahrenheit (-201 degrees Celsius), leading to a significant temperature difference between its two sides.
Mercury has no real atmosphere and the temperature on the surface is from 80,000 to 700,000 degrees.
No, mercury does not become solid in hot temperature and liquid in coolest temperature. But mercury becomes gas or liquid in hot temperature and becomes solid in coolest temperature. Mercury becomes solid after freezing point of -38.72 degrees Celsius. Solid Mercury can become superconductor in reaching of its critical temperature 4.2 K. Mercury is liquid under the room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). Mercury becomes gas after boiling point of 357 degrees Celsius.
Mercury's temperature can vary greatly depending on its environment. At room temperature, mercury is a liquid metal with a melting point of around -38.83 degrees Celsius. When heated, mercury can reach temperatures well beyond room temperature, up to 356.73 degrees Celsius when boiling.
Approximately -184 degrees facing away from the sun and about 427 degrees facing the sun, we do not have an accurate temperature because if an astronaut was to land on Mercury, he would drop dead when he gets 80 miles close to Mercury.
Mercury's temperature can range from about -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-179 degrees Celsius) at night to around 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius) during the day due to the lack of atmosphere to retain heat. This extreme temperature difference is due to its thin atmosphere and proximity to the sun.
Mercury is very hot in the "daytime", but very cold during the "nights". So it's not possible to give a meaningful answer really. Typical maximum temperature: 430 degrees Celsius. Typical minimum temperature: Minus 170 degrees Celsius.
Mercury's surface temperature can vary greatly due to its lack of atmosphere, reaching up to 430 degrees Celsius on the side facing the Sun and dropping to -180 degrees Celsius during the night.
the temperature of the core of the sun is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit.
Mercury and Venus: hot Earth: you know that! The rest of them: cold 2nd Answer: I don't understand that answer . . . In any event, Venus is extremely hot due to the thick cloud cover. Venus's surface temperature is close to 860 degrees, F. Earth's temperature runs from about -75 degrees to + 140 degrees, F. Mar's temperature runs between -200 degrees, F and 80 degrees, F., and Mercury's surface temperature runs from 840 degrees, F and -290 degrees, F. The rest of the planets, all gas giants, are very cold on their surface, but may be quite warm nearer their centers due to the immense pressure there.
The average temperature on Mercury is about 400 degrees Kelvin (more than the boiling point of water), but temperatures range from 100 degrees Kelvin (very cold) to around 700 degrees Kelvin (very, very hot).
At its hottest point, temperatures on Mercury can rise as high as 700 Kelvin (430 °C) for the regions directly facing the Sun. And its colder side can get down to 110 Kelvin (-163 °C). But the absolute coldest parts of Mercury are the shadowed parts of the planet's polar craters. These are regions that never see sunlight, and the Mercury surface temperature can get as low as 90 Kelvin (-183 °C).The Mercury average surface temperature, when you even it all out, is 452 Kelvin (179 °C).
no mercury is only hot from the suns intense heat and solar radiation. the sun is a young star and burns at over 200k degrees f and has massive sun blasts that stretch 100 earths out into space resulting from hydrogen atoms running into each other at massive speeds
