Because Mercury does not have an atmosphere to play a role in insulation, so the temperature of the back side of Mercury can be as low as minus 172 degrees Celsius, and because of the proximity of the sun, the temperature of the sunny side of Mercury will soar to 432 degrees Celsius under the baking of the sun, so it can be seen that Mercury is simply a realistic version of the "world of ice and fire"

Mysterious Circles Have Appeared In The Universe And Scientists Don't Know How To Explain It... Is It The Emergence Of An Advanced Civilisation?
Whichever way you look at it, humans cannot be the only intelligent creatures in the universe. As far as we know, the universe has existed for at least tens of billions of years, so a reasonable speculation is that there is probably an advanced civilization in the universe that is hundreds of millions or even billions of years ahead of humans, and if that is the case, their level of technology is something that we humans simply cannot imagine.

The Solar System Moves 7 Billion Kilometres a Year, But The North Star Is Always Due North - Why Is That?
In our universe, whether as large as a galaxy or as small as an electron, we are always in motion, and even when we think we are sitting motionless in our chairs, the earth is carrying us around the sun at a speed of about 30 kilometres per second, and the sun is also in motion, in fact it is carrying the entire solar system around the centre of the milky way, and at a speed of about 220 kilometres per second.
