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"

How Terrible Is The Strongest Known 'Starquake'? It's The Equivalent Of a 21 Magnitude Earthquake And Would Be Too Much For Earth To Handle
Earthquakes are a natural phenomenon known to all of us, and they are not unique to the earth. In theory, any planet with a solid crust can have an 'earthquake', and for the sake of distinction, we can call it a 'starquake'. The strength of a 'starshock' varies from planet to planet, so how terrible is the strongest known 'starshock'?

What Exactly Have Scientists Discovered And Why Are They So Convinced That Octopuses May Not Be Earth's Creatures?
Since the discovery of the first exoplanet in the 1990s, scientists have found more than 4,000 exoplanets, some like the giant gas planets of our solar system, and others like earth-like planets. Some exoplanets may have very harsh environments, perhaps as hot as venus or mercury, or as extremely cold as other planets. Of course there are also exoplanets that may have relatively suitable temperatures, may be located in the habitable zone of a star system, are a potentially habitable planet, and may even be a living planet.

Another Potentially Habitable Planet Has Been Discovered, And The Only Thing Scientists Are Worried About Is The Possibility Of Alien Life
This exoplanet, known as TOI 700d, is about 101.5 light years away from our Earth, which means that even if we were to travel to this exoplanet in a light-speed spacecraft, it would take at least 101.5 years of flight to reach it, so it is very far away

What Are The Seven Stars Of The Big Dipper? How Big Are They? How Far Away Are They From The Earth?
The Big Dipper is located in the constellation Ursa Major, and under good observing conditions, we can find them almost every day in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere. These seven shining stars form a unique spoon shape that is very easy to recognize.

Although we do not know much about these two "super Earths" yet, but from the basic situation, these two "super Earths" are not suitable for human habitation
