What extreme temperature does the hubble telescope faces in orbit?

The Hubble telescope is located within the upper Thermospheric layer of the earth's atmosphere. Here air molecules are very far apart and temperatures don't stay consistent for very long however, it would be safe to say that the temperature could reach as high as 1,500 °C ( 2,730 °F) and as low as -50 °C ( -58 °F) due to the shadow the earth may cast on it at nights.

Why are images from the hubble telescope clearer than images from the telescopes on earth?
Because of the atmosphere. The atmosphere distorts light (this is also why stars 'twinkle'), where as the HST, free from this, faces no interference.

Why does Mercury have the largest difference in extreme surface?
It is the closest to the sun so the side that faces the Sun gets very hot. It has no atmosphere to retain the heat, so when the side is facing away from the sun, the temperature drops drastically and it becomes very cold.
What is the temperature of side of the moon which faces sun?

What shapes have 8 vertices 12 edges and 6 faces?
Some forms of hexahedra. An extreme [regular] example is a cube.
What causes temperature extremes?
Weather is notoriously unpredictable, which is because it is influenced by the shape and position of mountains, and by oceans and ocean currents, and by wind patterns relating to the rotation of the Earth, and by the shifting angle at which a given location faces the sun as the Earth moves in its annual orbit, and by patterns of ice and glaciers, and by the inertial effect of previous weather patterms, as well as by greenhouse gases. The system is so difficult to predict that it is described mathematically as "chaotic". So, out of this chaos will come a certain amount of temperature extremes. If current concerns about global warming are valid, those extremes are going to tend toward extreme heat in the future, rather than extreme cold.
Why is the skin so important in thermoregulation?
The skin helps with homeostasis. This is basically the biological imperative of keeping different aspects of the body at a consistent temperature. It does this by reacting to the external temperature a person faces.
Are all the sides of a octahedron equilateral triangles?
An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The faces of octahedra can be triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons or heptagons. There are many examples of octahedra - a hexagonal prism, for example - which has no triangular face. At the other extreme, all the faces of a regular octahedron are equilateral triangles.
Which planet in the solar system shows the giant red spot as viewed from the earth?
It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained. A small telescope will usually show Jupiter's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter's atmosphere. A large telescope will show Jupiter's Great Red Spot when it faces the Earth.
What are the flat sides of crystal called?
Faces
Why does the area around the equator stay same temperature year round?
The equator faces always the sun wheather the earth is tilted to the north or south. This causes the earth to stay the same temperature all time.
