The so-called gravitational equilibrium surface refers to the surface formed by the same point of gravity. On Earth, we call the gravitational equilibrium surface that coincides with the stationary ocean surface the "geodetic level", which is actually equivalent to what we often call sea level.

Because Mercury does not have an atmosphere to play a role in insulation, so the temperature of the back side of Mercury can be as low as minus 172 degrees Celsius, and because of the proximity of the sun, the temperature of the sunny side of Mercury will soar to 432 degrees Celsius under the baking of the sun, so it can be seen that Mercury is simply a realistic version of the "world of ice and fire"
