Mercury. 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.
