the suns not out in the night, and it might be in a high geographical location like up the mountains Most deserts are in areas where there is not a great deal of cloud to speak of so when the sun is over head it beats down without any thing to stop the radiation, this can heat things up very effectively However after the sun goes down there still are no clouds and during the night the heat and radiation just heads directly up and is lost to the ground. unless there are clouds about there is nothing to stop the heat from dissipating.

∙ 8y agoDeserts are not necessarily cold at night. However, they are much cooler than during the day. The reasons for this are that deserts have little humidity and little cloud cover to hold the heat at night. When the sun sets the solar energy absorbed by the desert during the day quickly radiates back into space.

Mercury's temperature is so hot during the day because the atmosphere in Mercury is very thin, allowing a lot of heat to take in during the day and so cold at night because the atmoshere at night cannot hold the heat so it becomes extremly cold quickly. =) Thank you so much..... I hope I have the right answer
