Mercury is the only planet in our solar system that has a solid, cratered surface with no atmosphere. Its proximity to the sun causes extreme temperature changes, with surface temperatures ranging from a scorching 800°F during the day to a freezing -290°F at night. Venus has a thick atmosphere and a hot surface, Jupiter is a gas giant with no solid surface, and Mars has a thin atmosphere and a rocky, cratered surface but also has some evidence of past liquid water.
