what is the climate of the planet mercury(please answer soon as possible school project thank you in advance)?
480696
The mean surface temperature of Mercury is 452 K (178.8 °C /353.9 °F), but it ranges from 90 K (-183.15 °C /-297.7 °F) to 700 K (426.85 °C /800 °F); by comparison, the temperature on Earth varies by only about 150 K (150 °C /270 °F). The sunlight on Mercury's surface is 6.5 times as intense as it is on Earth, with the solar constant having a value of 9.13 kW/m².

Venus is the hottest planet. Mercury is closer to the sun, but atmospheric conditions also need to be considered.

Like the Earth, Mercury has an iron core. But Mercury's core occupies proportionately more (3/4) of the planet's diameter than Earth's does (about half). You can think of Mercury as a metal ball the size of the Moon surrounded by about 700 kilometers (430 miles) of rocky crust. The large relative size of Mercury's core makes it the most iron-rich planet in the solar system, with iron accounting for 65-70% of the planet's mass. Mercury's abundance of iron resulted from its position near the Sun. When the planets were forming out of the same cloud of gas and dust as the Sun, the temperatures in the warm inner regions of the primordial solar nebula were so high that iron-rich minerals were just about the only ones that could condense into solids. Farther away from the Sun, other minerals could also condense. Thus the iron content of the rocky planets in the solar system decreases with increasing distance from the Sun.\n\nMercury's iron core may also be responsible for one of the most surprising findings from Mariner 10 — the planet's weak magnetic field, 100 times weaker than Earth's. Astronomers and geologists are still trying to figure out what causes Mercury's field. In the case of the Earth, rapid rotation of its molten iron core generates electrical currents which produce the Earth's magnetic field. But Mercury is so small, astronomers had assumed its core had cooled and solidified. Plus, it rotates too slowly to generate a magnetic field the way the Earth does. Or so they thought. Perhaps Mercury's core is still partially liquid, or perhaps the magnetic field is "left over'' from an earlier time when the iron core was molten. Astronomers continue to work on this puzzle.

mercury has a day that last 58 of our days, so the same side is away from the sun for very long periods of time.  the same way that the earth gets cold at night and warmer during the day, the same thing happens to mercury, escept that each night last for the equivalent of 29 of our days (on average).  the fact the mercury has negligible atmosphere greatly exacerbates this effect

Solar wind reaches all of the planets in varying degrees. Flares most likely do not reach Mercury.

Mercury is a liquid because of it's properties.\nVisit http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele080.html

mercury \n\nIn chemistry, a heavy, silvery metallic element, a liquid at normal temperatures. Mercury expands or contracts rapidly in response to changes in temperature and therefore was once widely used in thermometers. \n\n\nThe term mercury is used figuratively in such expressions as “The mercury's rising” to mean that the temperature is going up.\n\nOr did you mean: Mercury (in Roman religion/planet nearest to the sun), Phoenix Mercury (WNBA Team), The Mercury (newspaper), mercury (plant), mercury (comics), Mercury

Only three major Solar System bodies move in orbits that carry them between the Earth and the Sun - the Moon and the planets Mercury and Venus. In the case of Mercury, transits occur either close to 7 May at intervals of 13 and 46 years or close to 9 November, which occur more frequently at intervals of 7, 13 and 46 years. \n\nTransits occur between three and 13 years apart, with November transits occurring at nearly double the frequency of those in May. The next transit of Mercury visible from the British Isles will be on 9 May 2016, but on that occasion we will only see the early stages before sunset.

Because Mercury's rotation is almost perpendicular to its orbital plain, the north pole always sees the sun just above the horizon. The insides of craters would never be exposed to the Sun and scientists suspect that they would remain colder than -161 C. These freezing temperatures could trap water outgassed from the planet, or ices brought to the planet from cometary impacts. These ice deposits might be covered with a layer of dust and would still show bright radar returns.
