Why is it so hot during the day but extremely cold at night?

Because during the day, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by the sun. At night-time, the sun is on the other side of the globe. So, the reason why it's cold at night is because the sun isn't in the sky to keep the atmosphere on the night-side of the Earth warm. The Moon is capable of reflecting light from the Sun, providing the night-time side of Earth with a little light, if there was no Moon, we wouldn't be able to see at night-time. However, the Moon cannot reflect the Suns heat.

Why does it get freezing cold on the planet Mercury at night?

There is no atmosphere to retain the heat that Mercury receives from the Sun, so it is all lost from the night side, radiated back into space. The same surface that reaches over 400 °C in the sun then plummets to -184 °C in a night that lasts 88 Earth days. The same situation occurs on the Earth's moon, where the temperature is scorching in the Sun and icy on the part that is in darkness.
