Mercury, but it has a very thin and light atmosphere made of helium and sodium. Mercury's daytime temperature is 400oC and the nighttime temperature is -200oC. 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)

∙ 13y agoMercury has essentially no atmosphere because of it's close proximity to the sun. It's extreme differences in temperature from day to night are due to it being so close to the sun. The side facing away from the sun and experiencing night is extremely algid and frigid, while the side facing the sun, being so close, is sweltering and torrid. Through out the day, temperatures go from the ague -170 degrees Celsius(-338 degrees f) to the unfathomable 450 degrees Celsius(842 degrees f). Hope that helps. :)

∙ 11y agoMercury. At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury can range from -173°C to 430°C, while temperatures at the poles can plummet to around -193°C. The large temperature range is due to a very long apparent day length, from a combination of the time taken to orbit and the planets axial rotation. Its lack of atmosphere also means that it cannot retain atmospheric heat like the other planets.

∙ 8y agoNo planet exactly fits this description. The only planet in our solar system that can fairly be said to lack an atmosphere is Mercury. Because of its lack of atmosphere and close proximity to the sun, the day side of Mercury is extremely hot. while the night side is extremely cold.
Mars is also cold and has a thin atmosphere, but that atmosphere is still substantial enough to significantly influence the surface.

Why can't the atmosphere of gas giant planets escape into space?
Where a planet or moon has an atmosphere, it is the gravity of the moon or planet that holds the atmosphere on the planet or moon.
What planet has the thinner atmosphere of the terrestrial planets?

What Is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?
The terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere is Mercury. Its thin atmosphere consists mainly of trace amounts of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium, and is not enough to be considered a true atmosphere.
