Mercury has no atmosphere so the temperature change drastically from hot to cold.
Venus has thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide fosters greenhouse effect. Even night or day. It is still hot.
Earth has variety of temperature zone. We have equator where we receive high dose of solar radiation, temperate zone partly receives solar radiation, polar zone receive a little solar radiation.
Mars has thin atmosphere. So it somehow regulates a little of the temperature.
Coldness of a Planet is dependent on the solar radiation it received during day/night, plus the atmosphere which regulates the temperature.

How atmosphere or a lack of atmosphere affects the temperatures of Mercury Venus and Mars?
The lack of an atmosphere, on any planet, will stop greenhouse gasses from building up, so the heat won't be trapped causing a cooler climate.
What planet's atmosphere has no air or water?
Mercury is the only major planet without an atmosphere. It is able to hold some gases close to its surface, but not really enough to call it an atmosphere. Its due to the size of the planet being so small and lack of a decent magnetic field that it is unable to sustain an atmosphere.
How does the moon's lack of an atmosphere affect its temperatures?
The sunny side gets extremely hot. The dark side gets extremely cold.
What planet is most covered with craters?
Mercury. It has a lot of craters as the planet has no atmosphere to speak of and therefore no weather. Meteors are allowed to collide with the planet a lot more easily as the lack of atmosphere means that they don't burn or break up, the lack of weather also means that the craters stay put once they are formed, much like on our moon. There are also no active volcanoes to cover matter over the formed craters.
What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.

If a planet had no atmosphere or weather what type of rock would it not have?
Sedimentary rock would not be found because of the lack of weathering and erosion.
A planet with no atmosphere is?
Mercury. Mercury's atmosphere was blown away by powerful solar winds because of the planet's low gravity, due to its small size. This planet's high temperature is due to its proximity to the sun. Because of Mercury's lack of sufficient atmosphere, the planet is unable to moderate its range of surface temperatures.

The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
Why is sending a human to Pluto not possible with today's technology?
Because of a due to lack of air, gravity, and because it is a dwarf planet and it is really away from the sun so it is really cold there.
Which planet doesn't have a gravity to support an atmosphere?
Mercury and Mars are the only planets without an atmosphere, not including dwarf or exoplanets. This isn't necessarily due to a lack of gravity, however, because Mars is larger than Venus, which definitely has an atmosphere, and gravity is linked to mass.
What happen to the water on Mars?
It froze because of the lack of atmosphere
What makes the sky cold?
the lack of oxygen that is spread out over very long spaces and the density of atmosphere.

Why does the temperature drop a lot in other planets at night?
The temperature does not drop drastically on all planets, only planets with a thin atmosphere, such as Mars or Mercury. It is because the thick atmosphere traps the heat, and clouds are a bonus, like on Venus, because they trap much more heat than just a thick atmosphere. On a planet like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, it cannot hold on to very much heat in the night side, and a planet like Mercury cannot trap any heat and cannot be shielded from the heat for lack of a real atmosphere. That is the basic idea. =)
What is the definition of Mars?
of Mar
How does the moon's lack of an atmosphere affect its temperatures?
The sunny side gets extremely hot. The dark side gets extremely cold.
