Mercury. Mercury takes 88 days to go around the sun, so its year is 88 solar days. It spins very slowly on its axis though, once every 58.6 days relative to background stars. A solar (apparent) day on Mercury takes 176 days, because of this slow spin relative to the time taken to orbit. This means that the side facing away from the sun can become very cold (100 Kelvin or -173'C at the equator, 80 Kelvin or -193'C nearer the poles), while the side facing the sun can see temperatures soar to 700 Kelvin at the equator (430'C).

Freezing cold Earth-like planet is discovered
By Mark Henderson, Science Correspondent, for Times Online
The most Earth-like planet yet discovered beyond the solar system has been detected orbiting a distant star, boosting the chances that life exists elsewhere in the galaxy.
The icy, rocky world is just five times larger than our own, making it the smallest and most similar to Earth of all the 160 "exoplanets" around other stars that astronomers have found so far.
The planet, which has been given the unglamorous name OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb, is considered an unlikely candidate for life, as it has a surface temperature of -220C (-364F) that precludes the presence of the liquid water thought necessary to sustain organisms

∙ 10y agoThat depends a lot on what "close" means.
The nearest star is 7,500 times farther from the Sun than the farthest planet is,
so you might say that the planets are ALL close together.
But the nearest planet is 108 times farther from us than the moon is, so I'd say
that NO planets are close together.
