Mercury experiences extreme temperature variations between day and night, with temperature differences that can reach up to about 600 degrees Fahrenheit (or around 330 degrees Celsius). During the day, temperatures can soar to around 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius), while at night, they can plummet to about -320 degrees Fahrenheit (-196 degrees Celsius). This drastic fluctuation is due to Mercury's thin atmosphere, which cannot retain heat.

What might the surface temperature be like on a planet with no atmosphere?
It depends on how far away the planet is from a star. If it's close, it's hot. Also, if the planet rotates on its axis there would be a big day-night temperature difference.
Temperature on the moon can range from -173 degree C at night to plus 127 degree C in the daytime. How do you you explain the vast difference in day and night temperature?
The moon lacks an atmosphere to retain heat, so it cannot trap heat received during the day. This causes temperatures to drop rapidly at night when the sun is no longer shining, leading to the extreme temperature swings between day and night.

What planet has the largest difference in surface temperature?
In our solar system, because of the lack of moderating effect of a thick atmosphere, and its proximity to the Sun, the planet Mercury has the largest temperature range between the day and night sides. The side facing the sun gets as hot as 430 C, the side facing away, as low as -173 C.

What planet has a 1000 degree difference?
