At day it is 473 degrees C and at night it is -184 degrees C.
The night side of Mercury is not receiving any direct sunlight. Because Mercury is so close to the sun, the day side of Mercury has a significant increase in heat.
Mercury has a thin atmosphere that cannot retain heat well. During the day, its surface gets extremely hot due to its proximity to the sun, but at night, it rapidly cools down as it lacks the atmosphere to trap the heat. This results in a large temperature difference between day and night on Mercury.
cause mercury doesnt trap the suns heat into the surface. It burns in the day time but freezes at the night time. Venus traps the suns heat in its surface.
Bloody hot in the day and hot at night
Mercury is a rocky planet in our solar system that experiences extreme temperature variations. During the day, its surface can reach scorching temperatures due to its proximity to the Sun, while at night, temperatures drop dramatically because Mercury has no atmosphere to retain heat.

No, Mercury has no atmosphere. Without an Atmosphere planets cannot trap heat. This is the reason why Mercury's temperature changes drastically from day and night.
Mercury has essentially no atmosphere, which means that, while the day is extremely hot, it cannot hold onto that heat at night. Both day and night on Mercury are very long, with a single day-night cycle lasting 176 Earth days.

Mercury's temperature is so hot during the day because the atmosphere in Mercury is very thin, allowing a lot of heat to take in during the day and so cold at night because the atmoshere at night cannot hold the heat so it becomes extremly cold quickly. =) Thank you so much..... I hope I have the right answer

1) Mercury takes about 58.6 Earth days to rotate, so the daytime lasts a long time and so does the night. 2) Mercury has no significant atmosphere to carry heat around the planet.
The planet is Mercury. (Some people think it is Venus, but it is Mercury.)

The minimum temperature on Mercury can drop to around -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-180 degrees Celsius) during the night. Mercury has very little atmosphere to retain heat, causing extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night.
Mercury has almost no atmosphere to trap heat. It has a very slow rotation so night lasts for many (earth) days, and in the long darkness without air, the heat radiates away rapidly. The day is also very long, and there is no atmosphere to spread out the sun's heat. There are no oceans to reflect away some of the solar radiation. The ground heats rapidly and retains tremendous heat during the day.
