Mercury experiences extreme temperature variations due to its thin atmosphere, which is unable to retain heat. During the day, temperatures can soar to about 430°C (800°F) as the sun heats its surface, while at night, they can plummet to -180°C (-290°F) due to rapid heat loss. Additionally, its slow rotation—taking about 59 Earth days to complete a day-night cycle—exacerbates these temperature extremes. The lack of a substantial atmosphere means there is no insulation to moderate these temperatures.

What temperature is it when you melt metal?
Different metals melt at different temperatures, from -39 deg C (mercury) to 3414 deg C (tungsten).
Temperatures on mercury-?
Mercury is a very hot planet. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.
How is mercury and Pluto different?
There are two main similarities between Mercury and Pluto. One is their smaller sizes, although Pluto is far smaller than Mercury. The other is their extreme distance from the sun. So Mercury is the closest known planet to the sun while Pluto was considered the furthest.
Hypothesis for a thermometer?
"Higher temperatures will result in the mercury in the thermometer expanding and rising, while lower temperatures will cause the mercury to contract and fall."
Does Mercury the planet have weather patterns?
The planet Mercury does not have weather patterns just wild temperatures.

What are the different type of thermometer?
There are 2 types I'm aware of. They are Mercury and Alcohol. Alcohol is used in very cold temperatures as it does not freeze.

Is Mercury the hottest planet in space?
Surface temperatures place Venus above Mercury.
Which planet has a greater range of temperatures than any other planet?
Mercury
Why is atmosphere absent in mercury?
Mercury has very high temperatures and is made up of hard rock. We are like a newborn baby - our planet can't resist such high temperatures, and that is why we have an atmosphere. Mercury can resist all that from the sun.
Why isn't a thermometer part of science?
Thermometers are tools used in science. For example it may be important to attain specific temperatures or record temperatures in a chemistry experiment. A physics experiment may deal with viscosities at different temperatures. Digital thermometers are slowly replacing older Mercury thermometers for many uses because of increased accuracy, and less risk of Mercury contamination.
