Once it was thought that Mercury does not rotate. We now know that Mercury does rotate, and it takes 58.6 of our days to make one revolution. So in answer to your question every part of Mercury gets very cold and also very hot. The temperature on the surface ranges from -170o C to 430oC (-270oF to 800oF) And the side that faces away from the Sun gets so cold because there is no atmosphere on Mercury to retain the heat. It is facing space, the heat that it absorbed while facing the Sun radiates away, and as space is cold so the surface gets cold.
