TaigaMercury is the planet that experiences extreme temperature variations, with surface temperatures reaching up to 800°F (430°C) during the day and dropping to -290°F (-180°C) at night. This is due to its thin atmosphere that is unable to retain heat, leading to rapid temperature changes between day and night.

How hot is Eris?
Eris, the dwarf planet, has a surface temperature of around -238 degrees Celsius (-396 degrees Fahrenheit) due to its distance from the Sun.
Is Jupiter too hot or cold for water?
Jupiter is too cold for liquid water because it is a gas giant planet with extremely low temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees below freezing. Water on Jupiter exists in the form of ice or vapor due to the extreme cold temperatures.
What is the first inner planet?
The first inner planet is Mercury. It is the closest planet to the Sun in our solar system and is known for its extreme temperature variations, ranging from very hot to very cold.
A planet with a thin atmosphere is?
Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.
How hot or cold is Mars?
Mars is an amazingly freezing cold planet and is to cold for us to live on. It is colder because it is further away from the sun and we can live because we are more closer to the sun than mars.
