Best Answer

In our solar system, because of the lack of moderating effect of a thick atmosphere, and its proximity to the Sun, the planet Mercury has the largest temperature range between the day and night sides. The side facing the sun gets as hot as 430 C, the side facing away, as low as -173 C.
