Because that is when the sun is highest in the sky.
As the suns rays travel through the atmosphere heat is absorbed and dissipated. At midday the rays are nearest to being perpendicular and travel through the least depth of atmosphere therefore less heat is absorbed

Which planet in our solar system has the lowest temperature?
That's rather a difficult question. Since we have explored so few planets, we have no way of making a totally accurate statement. It is presumable that the further away from the sun a planet is, the colder. By this logic, it can be said that Sedna is the coldest body in the solar system. However, since we have not explored the Oort Cloud, we cannot make a more informed estimation or measurement.
