Why mercury has a surface temperature of 400degrees Celsius and when night it falls to nearly -200degrees Celsius?

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The sun-ward side is therefore heated to 400 by the sun.
However the side facing away form the sun gets no incident heat from the sun and is therefore as cool as space (the atmosphere of Mercury is too thin to transfer heat round to the dark side of the planet and too thin to provide a thermal blanket). The dark side is therefore at -200.

What is the lowest temperature in celsius on Mercury?
0 degrees Celsius
Is the Mercury becomes solid in hot and liquid in coolest temperature?
No, mercury does not become solid in hot temperature and liquid in coolest temperature. But mercury becomes gas or liquid in hot temperature and becomes solid in coolest temperature. Mercury becomes solid after freezing point of -38.72 degrees Celsius. Solid Mercury can become superconductor in reaching of its critical temperature 4.2 K. Mercury is liquid under the room temperature (25 degrees Celsius). Mercury becomes gas after boiling point of 357 degrees Celsius.

What is the state of matter of mercury at 20 degrees?
20 degrees Celsius is about room temperature. At room temperature, mercury is a liquid.
Why would a mercury thermometer not work below -39 degrees Celsius?
A mercury thermometer wouldn't work -39 degrees Celsius because, it would have to be at a certain temperature to get the right calculations and it has to be a certain temperature
How does liquid mercury become solid mercury?
melting point of mercury is -38.83 celsius, under the temperature, it could turn into solid
CAN mercury BECOME A LIQUiD AT 50 Celsius?
Yes, it will remain a liquid at that temperature.
What is the temperature if the length of the mercury thread is 8cm or 20cm?
8cm=30 degree Celsius 20cm=90 degree Celsius
How do you meshor thormomitors?
Thermometers are measured in Fahrenheit or Celsius. To measure the temperature, you will need to observe the rise and fall of the mercury. The level at where the mercury rises to is the degree of temperature.
