It is not.
Until quite recently, it was thought that Mercury was synchronously tidally locked with the Sun, rotating once per orbit so that one side of the planet faced the sun all the time (in the same way that we see one side of the moon). However, radar observations proved, in 1965, that this was not the case: Mercury rotated about its axis 3 times for every 2 revolutions.

Why is half of mercury extremely hot and other extremely cold?
Mercury's extreme temperatures are due to its lack of atmosphere, which makes it difficult for the planet to retain heat. The side facing the sun can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, while the dark side can drop to -290 degrees Fahrenheit due to the lack of a protective atmosphere to regulate the temperature.
Why is half of mercury is extremely hot and the other is extremely cold?
Answer : The planet Mercury does not rotate on an axis relative to the Sun. Consequently, the side facing the Sun is very hot while the back of the planet away from the Sun, never receiving warming sunlight is relatively cold.Or so it was thought, it has now been pr oven that Mercury does rotate, albeit very slowly. It is close to the sun and lacks a protective atmosphere

What is a description of a cold climate?
A description of a cold climate could be that it snows more than half the year. It is more of a opinion since everyone thinks differently of what is cold and what is hot.
The name for half frozen rain or half melted snow?
Cold slush. Or just- slush. Or patchy ice, patchy snow. Hope this helps, :D
Why couldn t you live on Mars?
one half is too hot and the other half is too cold
What is a Uranus' moon like?
Uranus's moons are made up of half ice (with some ammonia and carbon dioxide) and half rock. Being so far away from the sun, it is extremely cold as well.
Why is half of mercury extremely hot and other extremely cold?
Mercury's extreme temperatures are due to its lack of atmosphere, which makes it difficult for the planet to retain heat. The side facing the sun can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, while the dark side can drop to -290 degrees Fahrenheit due to the lack of a protective atmosphere to regulate the temperature.
Is it true that one half of Uranus is cold and one half hot?
No. Uranus is a cold planet all around.
Can being in a extremely hot room for about a half hr and then going into a much colder room cause cold or flu like symptoms?
No. There is no medical evidence of that. See the related questions for much more detail.
How do you get rid of petrol smell on fabric in a car?
By cutting a fresh lemon in half and rubbing the juice into the fabric, being extremely careful not to stain the material, will help in eliminating gas odors and other smells from fabric.

What would the seasons be like on a planet that has a rotational axis which is parellel to the planet plane orbit?
If it orbits around a star (like the sun), then it would snow, or be very cold, every where but the side closest to the sun. The night would be half of the planetary orbital route, and day the other half. Depending on whether the magnetic poles were really cold or not, and the distance from the source of heat/light it may even snow for half the year and be hot for the other half.
What is the other half of this phrase touch and?
Touch and go. It means extremely uncertain or risky (eg. It was touch and go after his plastic surgery.) See the Related Link.
Why is it cold half the year then warm the other half?
Its because as we turn in a 360 degree circle, we are being turned in an even bigger 360 around the sun, getting closer & farther away, as you notice in winter it gets dark &cold very early. That is because we are farther away from the sunk
