No. For example Venus is the second closest planet but is the hottest. This is because it has a thick atmosphere and therefore it holds the heat in more than Mercury (the closest planet) does.

What is the explanation for the hottest place on earth?

`its the equater...it is always closest to the sun' Actually the equator isn't always closest to the sun the Earth has what is called an axial tilt (its about 22 degrees approximately from memory) its rarely the closest part of the earth closest to the sun, which in itself rarely has much to do with local high temperatures Local conditions (local on a global scale I mean) such as prevailing winds, geographical conditions etc will have a much greater impact on local high temperatures than the equator's closeness (or lack) of to the sun

Does Mercury have extreme temperatures?

Yes, Mercury has extreme temperatures. Its proximity to the sun causes it to have very hot surface temperatures during the day, reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (430 degrees Celsius). However, due to its lack of atmosphere to retain heat, its surface can also experience very cold temperatures, dropping as low as -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-180 degrees Celsius) at night.
