Due to the close proximity of Mercury to the sun, we would all be burned up. Also in the process of the Earth moving to Mercury's position, a geographical disaster would occur due to the stress the planet would be under.

What would happen if a gamma ray burst hit the earth?

If a gamma ray burst hit Earth, it could potentially strip away the ozone layer, leading to an increase in harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

What happens when a meteor hits Mercury?

Meteors hit this planet every day. Most of them are too small to notice; but even a meteor of the size of a sandkorn can give a spectacular sight at night (the "shooting stars").Larger meteors can be catastrophic; in 1908 a meteor hit Siberia, causing an explosion comparable to an H-bomb. 65 million years ago a larger meteor hit Earth, causing the demise of the dinosaurs.If you get a chance, go to Meteor Crater [See related link] in Arizona for a close up view of what happens when a meteor hits Earth.
