So Close to the Sun?

The closest planet to the Sun? Can you guess which? Located at an average distance of approximately 57.9 million kilometers, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It takes about 88 Earth days for Mercury to complete one orbit around the sun. Being closer to the Sun, the temperature on Mercury's surface can reach up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drops to -290 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Despite being the closest planet to the sun, Mercury is not the hottest planet. It is the second hottest planet in the Solar system, the hottest being Venus.
