I'm curious about the temperature of Mercury. I want to know how hot it is on the planet's surface. Can you provide me with information about Mercury's temperature?

    The proximity of the planet to the Sun results in scorching day temperatures.

    This makes the planet's surface incredibly hot and uninhabitable for most known forms of life.

    At night, however, the lack of an atmosphere causes a rapid loss of heat.
