Re: The other side cold and dark?
Venus suffers from the horrendous greenhouse effect however, trapping heat..
Mercury varies greatly on the sunny side and dark side, because it has no atmosphere. A quick google and the sunny side is 430C. The cold side -180C.
I guess it would be hotter but depends on the what chemical break down of the planet is and whether it reflects heat away or keeps it.
