It never occurred to me that Mercury had an atmosphere, much less that it contained oxygen. Of course, the pressure is 1E-15 bar, fifteen orders of magnitude less than that of earth. My conjecture that there is only one planet in the solar system where one could have a campfire is safe.

That was surprising to me as well being so close to the sun any atmosphere would have burnt off.

[TrickieDickie]

Its been holding at 0.04% for quite along time
