Reply to comment by PlaidBastard in Mercury has a very elliptical orbit, but does it influence its temperature? by legendsplayminecraft
Yes!
To say, the difference in temperature relative to different points on its elliptical orbit on the side facing the sun range from: instantly overcook your pizza to... instantly overcook your pizza.
That being said- much like the nuclear explosion description, there is a spot on mercury's penumbra where the temperature is *perfect* for baking.
