Published reflectance data covering several different wavelength intervals has been combined and analyzed in order to determine the spherical bolometric albedo of Mercury. The resulting value of 0.088 +/- 0.003 spans wavelengths from 0 to 4 {\mu}m which includes over 99% of the solar flux. This bolometric result is greater than the value determined between 0.43 and 1.01 {\mu}m by Domingue et al. (2011, Planet. Space Sci., 59, 1853-1872). The difference is due to higher reflectivity at wavelengths beyond 1.01 {\mu}m. The average effective blackbody temperature of Mercury corresponding to the newly determined albedo is 436.3 K. This temperature takes into account the eccentricity of the planet's orbit (M\'endez and Rivera-Valet\'in. 2017. ApJL, 837, L1).

A broad exploration of climate and observability of close-in rocky exoplanets: applications to Ross 128 b
3D climate simulations of Ross 128 b yield geometric albedos of 0.07 to 0.2 in the visible and near zero in the near-infrared, well below the common 0.3 assumption.
