All planets have very different temperatures at the surface.

Mercury's Maximum Temperature 465°C (870°F)

Mercury's Minimum Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Venus' Average Temperature 449°C (850°F)

Earth's Average Temperature 7.2°C (45°F)

Mars's Maximum Temperature 36°C (98°F)

Mars's Minimum Temperature -123°C (-190°F)

Jupiter's Average Temperature -153°C (-244°F)

Saturn's Average Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Uranus' Maximum Temperature -184°C (-300°F)

Neptune's Average Temperature -223°C (-370°F)

Because it has almost no atmosphere to retain heat, Mercury's surface experiences the greatest temperature variation of all the planets in our solar system, ranging from 100 K (−173 °C; −280 °F) at night to 700 K (427 °C; 800 °F) during the day at some equatorial regions. Venus is hotter than Mercury even though it's more distant from the sun, because of runaway greenhouse effect; and Uranus is colder (can be even colder than Neptune despite the latter's greater distance from the Sun) possibly because of a mechanism which caused core heat loss, and/or some atmospheric effects which dissipate heat; but Venus and Uranus do not have the same large range of temperature variation.

Mercury, cause it has no atmosphere and its the closest planet to Sun.

Mercury experiences the widest range in temperature, from -173°C on the side that is facing away from the sun, to 427°C on the side that is facing towards the sun.

Because it has no moderating atmosphere, the surface of Mercury has the largest known range in the solar system, from -173 to 427 C night to day.

Can life live on goldilocks planet?

Potentially. A Goldilocks planet is a planet that orbits in its star's habitable zone, meaning it is at the right distance that temperatures could support liquid water. This does not necessarily mean that the planet is in that temperature range, as temperature also depends on the composition and density of the planet's atmosphere and even how light or dark the planet's surface is. Even if temperatures are in the right range, that still does not guarantee that the planet could support life.

Why does mercury have greater range of temperatures than any other planet?

It's the closest planet to the sun, so the "day" side gets HOT. (it has a very slow rotation, about 2/3 of its year) while the night side gets to radiate heat into outer space (there's no atmosphere to help trap any of that heat).

What is a sentence using the word range?

I went to a golf range to practice. Dad likes to cook outdoors on his gas range. The range of temperatures on the planet Mercury is very large. The fighter pilots were soon within range of the enemy base. Sharpshooters are able to hit targets accurately at long range.
