Because it is so close to the Sun and has almost no atmosphere, the side facing away from the Sun is very cold (-170 Celsius, -275 Fahrenheit) and the side facing it gets very hot (450 Celsius, 840 Fahrenheit). In case you were wondering, it is hot enough to melt lead, but only when it's facing the Sun enough. And Venus can melt lead anywhere (all year) because it's extremely dense atmosphere traps the heat in a greenhouse effect. These are the only two planets that can melt lead.

From about -300°F (-184°C) (on the side away from the sun) to about 800°F (427°C), at one or more points on the side currently facing sunward. There is no appreciable atmosphere to moderate the temperature extremes. As the planet slowly rotates (once about every 60 Earth days) the sun-heated surface reaches the "dark" side and can radiate heat into space. Craters near the poles have perpetually "cold" spots deep within them.

Mercury has the greatest range of surface temperatures of any planet in the solar system.
