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.
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.
Mercury's temperature can range from about -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-179 degrees Celsius) at night to around 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius) during the day due to the lack of atmosphere to retain heat. This extreme temperature difference is due to its thin atmosphere and proximity to the sun.

Mercury has the greatest temperature variation in our solar system, with surface temperatures ranging from about -290°F (-179°C) at night to 800°F (427°C) during the day, resulting in a difference of over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bloody hot in the day and hot at night
On Mercury, the maximum surface temperature can reach about 430 degrees Celsius (800 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day, while the minimum temperature at night can drop to around -180 degrees Celsius (-290 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme temperature variation is primarily due to Mercury's thin atmosphere, which cannot retain heat, and its slow rotation, leading to long days and nights. As a result, the temperature difference between day and night is approximately 610 degrees Celsius (1,100 degrees Fahrenheit).
Mercury with a surface temperature of 700K in the daytime and 100K in the night
because mercury is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night
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.
All planets have very different temperatures at the surface.
