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.
