Depending on location, Mercury's airless surface can be extremely hot or extremely cold.
The highest temperatures on Mercury are about 427°C (800°F). This is near the equator on the sunward side, during the 88 Earth days spent in continuous solar heating. This is followed by 88 Earth days of night, in which the side away from the Sun radiates most of its heat back into space, becoming extraordinarily frigid.
Mercury's hottest temperature is 427 °C or 801 °F
Mercury's coldest temperature is −183 °C or −297 °F
