Mercury Has Set Seven Solar System Bests, Other Than Being The Closest To The Sun

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"

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.
