First off, Mercury has virtually no atmosphere. So thin that we really don’t even consider it to have an atmosphere. The atmosphere that it does have is constantly being blown away and replaced due to fierce solar winds emitted by the sun. It is extremely unstable, extremely thin, with no significant greenhouse gases.
