Mercury is a planet that gets super hot during the day and super cold at night. It’s like living in a house with no windows, you get really warm when the sun shines directly on you, but you freeze when it goes away. Because of this, we can’t walk on Mercury easily.
Examples
- Walking on Mercury would be like wearing a pair of shoes that melt during the day and then freeze solid at night.
- If you walked on Mercury, your feet might cook during the day but freeze solid by night.
