Mercury. Mercury's atmosphere was blown away by powerful solar winds because of the planet's low gravity, due to its small size. This planet's high temperature is due to its proximity to the sun. Because of Mercury's lack of sufficient atmosphere, the planet is unable to moderate its range of surface temperatures.
