Mercury's temperatures can drop to as cold as 100 K (-279.4) at night, but rise to as high as 700 K (800.6 F) during the day. This is due to the fact that Mercury has no atmosphere. Because of this, it experiences the full force of the Sun during the day and the extreme chill of the universe at night.
