Mercury is both a hot and a cold planet. During the day, it gets 750 degrees Fahrenheit but at night it drops to below -300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mercury is close to the Sun and has no atmosphere, so the Sun's powerful rays can easily heat the surface. However, on the side away from the Sun, all of the heat is radiated off into space.
Because the planet turns so slowly, each period of daytime or night is approximately 88 Earth days in length.

Hot-it's closest to Sun.
It is made of of rock. The same type that the cold side is. The hot side of Mercury does not have any special properties. It's only hot because it faces the sun.
Mercury - Neptune (EX. Uranus) Are Hot. Pluto and Eris are -147 - -312
Mercury has no atmosphere so it is EXTREMELY hot in sunny side and EXTREMELY cold in parts of the planet

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
Uranus is cold and mercury is hot.
Yes. It is a great planet. I would live there if it wasn't so hot! It is so cold.
Mercury
because mercury is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night
Mercury is put in a tube the Mercury expands when it is hot and compacts when cold.
Mercury

Hot-it's closest to Sun.
