Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mercury’s atmosphere is incredibly thin.

It's thin because the atmosphere is made up of atoms blasted off its surface by the Solar wind and also consist of the stream particles coming from the outer layer of the sun

2. The length of a mercury year is about 1.5 times longer than a mercury a day.

Mercury revolves around the sun very quickly but rotates around its axis very very slowly

3.The temperature range on Mercury is about 590 °C.

During the day, temperatures on Mercury's surface can reach Very High But, the planet has no atmosphere to retain that heat
