ThingamabobOverseer: beacuse titan is further away from the sun so less solar wind=can have atmo
Technomancer:Titan is around the same size as Mercury and can support an atmosphere,however creating a magnetic field would require massive megastructures around the poles with powerful magnets.
The artwork is lovely though, especially if made on a phone, so +1 for effort even if it's not possible in reality
It also has no significant magnetic field, meaning nothing to prevent the solar wind from stripping the atmosphere away regardless of gravity. No atmosphere means no plants, and no plants means no oxygen (it's too reactive to remain if it isn't being constantly replenished)
Mercury's gravity isn't strong enough to retain a life-supporting atmosphere. You'd have to increase the planet's mass by several hundred percent to allow for that
they would be orbiting mercury, and would be made with heat resistant materials
true, but what could be said about the mirrors melting and falling into mercury's gravity?
massive solar mirrors in huge ammounts could reflect enough sunlight to cool it
but.. mercury is too hot to terraform

Pretty +1
