Mercury does not have an atmosphere.
This does not affect its feeling the presence of solar weather but does affect its temperature to extremes.
As a result, the temperature on its surface is very high during the day and extremely cold at night with very little changes during the seasons.

A Planet With No Atmosphere. Rather than an atmosphere, Mercurypossesses a thin exosphere made up of atoms blasted off its surface by solar wind and striking micrometeoroids. Because of the planet's extreme surface temperature, the atoms quickly escape into space.
