It's actually because, though Mercury is allot closer to the Sun than Venus, Venus spins round like earth..... Meaning that Venus is hot all around it's surface. However Mercury stays with one side facing the sun, leaving only one side of Mercury to be hot, and the other..... Well, freezing cold I'd say.
