No have life on Mercury

There is no proof to back up the notion that Mercury supports life, despite the fact that there is still plenty to learn about it. According to NASA, Mercury's extreme heat and cold, as well as its strong solar radiation, are probably too harsh for any type of life to survive.


In 2011, MESSENGER found indications of frozen water on Mercury. The ice is gathered in craters in the poles where it is protected from the sun's rays. Most likely, asteroids transported this ice to Mercury. The Astrophysical Journal Letters reported a study from 2020 that suggested mercury may be making up to 10% of its own ice.


Hydroxyl groups of bound oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H) atoms are found in minerals on the surface of Mercury. These groups can be stimulated by the sun's intense heat and collide to form water molecules (H2O). The sister site of Live Science, Space.com, previously revealed that some of these molecules travel about the planet and end up in icy craters at the poles to produce ice. The sun also decomposes these molecules.
