Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and gets sunlight 7 times more intense that Earth does, so the sunlit side is VERY hot. But Mercury rotates very slowly, taking 1.5 "Mercury years" for one "Mercury day". So the dark side of Mercury gets very cold, because the heat radiates away into space.

If the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night?

Without an atmosphere, there would be significant temperature extremes between day and night. During the day, the surface would become very hot due to direct sunlight, while at night, temperatures would drop rapidly without the atmosphere to trap heat. This difference is significant because the atmosphere helps regulate temperature by trapping heat and distributing it around the planet.
