Mahipal Chouhan

Mercury: Daytime temperatures can reach up to 430°C (800°F), while nighttime temperatures drop to around -180°C (-290°F).

Venus: Venus has an average surface temperature of about 462°C (864°F), making it the hottest planet in our solar system due to its dense atmosphere trapping heat.

Earth: Earth's average surface temperature is about 15°C (59°F), but this can vary widely depending on location and time of year.

Mars: Mars has an average surface temperature of around -60°C (-80°F), but temperatures can range from -140°C (-220°F) near the poles to 20°C (70°F) near the equator during summer.

Jupiter: Being a gas giant, Jupiter doesn't have a solid surface, but its upper atmosphere has temperatures of about -145°C (-234°F).

Saturn: Similar to Jupiter, Saturn is a gas giant without a solid surface. Temperatures in its upper atmosphere are around -178°C (-288°F).

Uranus: Uranus has a surface temperature of about -224°C (-371°F), being an ice giant planet with a very cold atmosphere.

Neptune: Neptune, another ice giant, has a surface temperature of approximately -218°C (-360°F), making it one of the coldest planets in the solar system.
