It isn't hot at night. It is incredibly cold. There is no atmosphere on Mercury to retain the heat, so it is radiated back into space as the planet slowly turns. Daytime and nighttime are each 88 Earth days long, and the same surface that was searingly hot then becomes icily cold, as low as -184 °C (-300 °F).

∙ 12y agoFrom the night, Mercury's surface temperature changes 1,130 °F (630 °C), more than any other planet or moon in the solar system. Just before sunrise on a typical day on Mercury the temperature is -300 °F (-180 °C). By midmorning the temperature rises to 80 °F (27 °C). At noontime, 22 Earth days since the sun rise, it has climbed to 765 °F (407 °C). In the early afternoon the temperature reaches a high of 800 °F (427 °C), hot enough to melt zinc and tin."

Explain why sea breeze happen during day and land breezes happen at night?
because at night the sea cools slower than the land and the uneven heating causes it to bring the air to the sea. and vice versa for the day time and the night timeland breezes happen during the day because the temperature is higher, and land breezes at night when the temperature is lower.

Why does mercury's surface temperature varies so much from day to night?
because mercury is extremely hot during the day and extremely cold at night
Why is mercury's temperature so hot during the day then so cold and night?
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.....
