The characteristics of mercury planet are -:
1. The planet Mercury is nearest to the Sun. 2. It is the smallest planet in our solar system. Because Mercury is very close to the Sun, it is very difficult to observe it, as most of the time it is hidden in the glare of the Sun. However, it can be observed just before sunrise or just after sunset, near the horizon. So it is visible only at places where trees or buildings do not obstruct the view of the horizon. 3. Mercury has no satellite of its own. 4. Mercury has the widest temperature extremes in the solar system ranging from 90 degrees Kelvin to 700 degrees Kelvin.
