Not Mercury that used in thermometer, absolutely. I mean the planet, Mercury the planet! Okay, back to the topic, Mercury is the smallest and nearest-to-sun planet in our solar system. It also was the 2nd winner in the case of temperature (only beaten by Venus). And, because it's proximity to the sun, it was the fastest planet in case of orbiting speed, 1 years in Mercury are same as 0,241 years at the Earth. So in this Move To Other Planet edition, we will move to Mercury. Fasten your seatbelts!

| Mercury temperature |
If in Venus we are only melting, in Mercury we will also freezing. At the day, the Mercury temperature was 427℃ so you will melt, but at night the temperature was -173℃ and your body now will freezing. This melting-freezing cycle is occurred every day, because the Mercury don't have any atmosphere, so it can't store heat and can't resist the heat from the sun. So be prepared to face this if you want to spend your old day at Mercury. Your checklist: Heat Resistance Clothes and Cold Resistance Clothes.

| Yeah, you know... but it's kind of true |
Not quite a flying, at least we will jump around. This because it small size, only 0.055 than the Earth, so it have smaller gravitational forces than the Earth. With this walking in Mercury are pretty hard, as you will jumped around this planet. This also quite a problem for your spacecraft to land here and not bounced around. You will need a spacecraft like the Apollo Lander to landing here, and to walk you need a ballast to make you stick at the ground.

| Still, you can't breathe because it small amount |
Because, you know, Mercury don't have any atmosphere so you will need a spacesuit that have enough oxygen for you to breathe. But, if you don't want to be strayed around in spacesuit, you may will need a vehicle. Special vehicle i.e. not bicycle, your SUV, motorcycle, or London busses. Because no atmosphere, SUV, Motorcycle, and London busses engine will not able to get started. For bicycle... you know,you don't want flying bicycle, do you? If you want you need bicycle will need oxygen tank. Ahh.. forget that. You will need vehicle like in image above to traveling around this planet. That vehicle are used in Mars landing few years from now

| This happens in Earth every day, fortunately |
Mercury absence of atmosphere are again make impact to you (not me, I wouldn't followed you to Mercury). In the Earth, the ozone layer can shielding Earth from UV. There's 3 form of UV, if you are people that always use sunscreen, you will notice that's it says it protects your skin from UV A and UV B on your sunscreen (if your sunscreen don't say this there's 2 possibilities: The writer forget to tell it, or your sunscreen was fake).
UV A is rather not to dangerous, it only make your skin turned into brown (maybe that don't looks good for you, ladies) and earth block 5% of it's. UV B are making your skin turned to red and can make irritation to your skin, our ozone layer blocked 95% of it. The last one, your sunscreen don't mention it, UV C is can make your cell to mutate.
Fortunately ozone layer are blocked 100% of it. The Mercury is unfortunately are closer to sun and don't have ozone layer, so all of that will hit you without any obstacles.

| This are not useable in Mercury |
Because the Mercury are close to the sun, it can orbiting the Sun only in 88 day, actually its name are taken from Roman deity Mercury that are messenger to God's. So you will getting old faster in Mercury, your age will 4 times than your age in Earth if you are celebrating your birthday once every Mercury year. Maybe you want to helping me making a Mercury calendar for you to use in Mercury? I will make every month in Mercy calendar, that was the calendar name, 11 day long. Help me naming the month!
