Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. Mercury is very small!Mercury is one of the hottest planets in our solar system! I bet you're saying one of the hottest planets?Yes one of the hottest planets. Venus is the hottest planet! It is the hottest planet because it has a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide gas. This traps the heat let off by the sun. But it does not realise the heat like our Earth does! Mercury doesn't have a atmosphere! If we keep on hurting our atmosphere we could end up like Venus!
