Yes it does. Mercury is one of the few metals that is liquid at room temperature. It evaporates very slowly but it does evaporate.
This is significant for safety. Mercury is quite toxic to humans, if it is spilt it is very important that it is correctly cleaned up or it will slowly evaporate, possibly over many years and can be breathed in.
If it is ever necessary to work with an open container of mercury it should be covered with oil so that the surface can not evaporate.

∙ 8y agoMercury is the closest planet to earth, not have much of an atmosphere to trap heat, so temperature varies greatly.
The temperature can go between -279 Fahrenheit (-173 Celsius) at night to 801 Fahrenheit (427 Celsius) during the day. This temperature is good enough to melt lead.
Anywhere between -173 degrees and 420 degrees. Depends if you`re on the side facing the sun or facing away from the sun.
