Why is mercury hot on one side and cold on the other side?

This is not true. For many years, it was thought that Mercury was in synchronous tidal lock with the Sun: that is, its orbital and rotational periods were the same so that the same side faced the Sun (much like we only see one side of the Moon). However, radar observations in 1965 showed this to be false: the planet spins three times for every two revolutions around the Sun.
