 Background and context

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest one in the
entire Solar System. Contrary to popular belief, this planet's name has
nothing to do with the liquid metal. Mercury was, instead, named after
the famous Roman messenger god Mercurius

Mercury takes a little more than 58 days to complete its rotation, so

try to imagine how long days must be there! Since the temperatures
are so extreme, albeit not as extreme as on Venus, Mercury has been
deemed to be non-habitable for humans
