FAQs

Why only daytime temperature for Mercury?

• The temperature (tempC) property was originally thought to be taken as average temperature.
• But unlike other planets, for Mercury the temperature range is so huge (430°C during the day, -180°C at night), average value would lose the extremeness.
• I also checked another API which also outputs only daytime temperature of Mercury. So I also stayed with it.
• If you have better solution, a PR is appreciated.
