Mercury is the hottest planet because it is the closest planet to the sun, and therefore receives more direct sunlight. Neptune is the coldest planet because it is the farthest planet from the sun, receiving very little sunlight and having a thick atmosphere that traps heat, resulting in cold temperatures.
