Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mercury exhibits the widest range of surface temperatures between day and night due to its thin atmosphere, which is incapable of retaining heat. This leads to extremely hot temperatures during the day when the sun is shining directly on its surface, and very cold temperatures at night when the absence of a significant atmosphere allows heat to escape into space rapidly.
