Earth is farther from the sun than Mercury and Venus, and so recieves kess energy from the sun. Compared with Venus, Earth also has a lot less carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so it does not hold heat as easily. Since Mercury has almost not atmosphere to hold in heat, the night side of the planet is actually extremely cold.
