The sun’s heat makes Mercury a very warm place during the day.

Mercury can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius) during the day. Mercury gets this hot because it is so close to the sun.

Temperatures can drop to –300°F (–184°C) at night. No other planet has such a wide range of temperatures.

Make a Guess!

Why does it get so cold at night on Mercury? Remember that Mercury’s days are very long. This means its nights are very long, too!

The many parts of Mariner 10 helped to collect a lot of different information.
