The poles receive no sunlight, so even as close as Mercury is to the Sun, it has ice! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/11/29/water-on-mercury-nasa-announces-ice-poles_n_2212433.html?prefTab=Today&mailCount=4634 IP: Logged |

It's crazy that Mercury can be so close to the Sun and still have places on the surface cold enough for water to freeze! ------------------ "Fall down 100 times, get up 101...this is success." --ME IP: Logged |

Keep in mind Mercury is a dead planet, its core cooled off a long time ago. Earth gets heat from both the sun and the hot inner core. But, ya its surprising. IP: Logged |
