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.

∙ 11y agoMercury. At the equator, the surface temperature can range from -173°C to 430°C, while temperatures at the poles can plummet to around -193°C. The large temperature range is due to a very long apparent day length, from a combination of the time taken to orbit and the planets axial rotation.
Its lack of atmosphere also means that it cannot retain atmospheric heat like the other planets.

Which planet experiences the smallest range of temperatures?
earth has the smallest range of temperatures
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.
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's the temperature of Jupiter?
Jupiter has a vast range of temperatures, and there is no definable surface within the dense atmosphere.The outermost cloud layers are exposed to the near-absolute-zero temperatures of space, while the core of the planet has high temperatures because of the intense pressure of the atmosphere planet bearing down at it. At the cloud tops, the temperature of Jupiter is thought to be as low as -161° C (112 K). Deeper into the atmosphere, temperatures increase to as high as 36000° near the rocky core.Jupiter's temperature ranges from -234o_ 17,540.33oF.-166 degrees Fahrenheit.-230 degrees Fahrenheit
Which planet's temperature ranges from 13c to 37c?
No planet in our solar system has that as its full temperature range. Earth certainly has that temperature range, but it can get both hotter and colder than that.

Can life live on goldilocks planet?
Potentially. A Goldilocks planet is a planet that orbits in its star's habitable zone, meaning it is at the right distance that temperatures could support liquid water. This does not necessarily mean that the planet is in that temperature range, as temperature also depends on the composition and density of the planet's atmosphere and even how light or dark the planet's surface is. Even if temperatures are in the right range, that still does not guarantee that the planet could support life.
What is the average temperature in Nevada?
In the winter Nevada experiences cold temperatures. In January, temperatures range anywhere from the low 30's to the mid 50's depending.
What planet's temperatures range from 13B0C to 37B0C?
I'm not sure. It's not Venus or Mercury! Is it the Sun? I don't know.
