Which planet experiences the widest range of the temperatures?

Mercury experiences the widest range of temperatures in our Solar System.Because it's a very slowly-rotating planet, and because it has no blanketing atmosphere, its "dark side" can stay that way for a long time, allowing temps to plunge hundreds of degrees. On the other hand, being the closest planet to the sun, Mercury's hot side is very hot indeed!The best estimates are that Mercury's hot side gets up to 465 deg. C, and the cold side can chill to -184 deg. C. That's a range of 649 deg. C, or 1,168 deg. Fahrenheit.Mercury the day time temprature is as high as 800 degrees and at night it is as low as -300 degrees. There is little atmosphere to retain the heat giving such an unusuall temprature change.


Which planet has the most extreme temperature variations?

Planet mercury had the most extreme temperatures since it locate very near to sun and had no atmosphere so it don't have green house effect to normalize the temperature. Lowest temperature is -183oC on the side face out the sun to 427 oC on the side that facing the sun.


What planet has a wide range temperature on its surface?

Mercury has a wide range of surface temperatures, with daytime temperatures reaching up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius) and dropping to -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-180 degrees Celsius) at night due to lack of atmosphere to retain heat.


What might surface temperatures be like on a planet with no atmosphere?

It largely depends on how close to the parent star (or sun) the planet is, but planets with no atmosphere will tend to have rather extreme temperatures. They will go from hot days to cold nights more easily as there would be no atmosphere to hold the heat from the sun, so they'll have a larger temperature range throughout the day/night cycle.

What planet experiences the smallest range of temperatures?

Mercury experiences the smallest range of temperatures in our solar system. Due to its lack of atmosphere, temperatures on Mercury can vary drastically between day and night. The side facing the sun can reach up to 800°F (430°C) during the day, while on the dark side temperatures can drop to -290°F (-180°C).


Which planet expierences the smallest range of temperatures?

Mercury experiences the smallest range of temperatures, with daytime temperatures reaching up to 800°F (430°C) and dropping to around -290°F (-180°C) at night. This is because Mercury has virtually no atmosphere to trap heat or insulate it from the cold.
