By far Mercury has the widest temperature extremes of all of the planets in our Solar System. Night is a cold -292 degrees F, while midday temperatures reach +806 degrees F in the hottest regions.
Of all the planets, Mars has the potential to harbor life, or to have harbored life at some time in the past. Its 77 degree daytime temperature is reasonable to project as being consistent with the requirements of life forms as we understand them. However, its night temps are truly chilling and it seems to lack a suitable atmosphere for life at this time. Water may have been prevalent on Mars at some time in the past, but is apparently not visable now.
The ideal planet you seek may reside within one of the nearby solar systems. Many people are looking for it.

If the Earth bogged down even by employing some p.c., the ambience would not cooperate with the unexpected ameliorations and classification 5 hurricanes and tornadoes could start up forming at each corner of the Earth. additionally, earthquakes could start to seem, with the aid of Earth's underground plates that isn't be in a position to deal with the unexpected substitute in rotation velocity.

temp extremes = Mercury
"Temperature extremes range from the hottest in the solar system at 626 degrees Fahrenheit (330 degrees Celsius) to the coldest at minus 279 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 173 degrees Celsius)."
Primitive life chance = Jupiter

Mercury for the temperatures, and I think Mars for the life forms...though it has been said that Venus could be possible for certain creatures.

Mercury. Closest planet to Sun. No atmosphere. Same side always faces Sun, very hot. Dark side away from Sun is very cold. Mars.

jupiter because it has such a thick atmosphere that traps all the heat from the volcanoes in other words it doesnt matter how far away from the sun you are it matters on the thickness of the atmosphere and the amount of CO2 bieng put into the air
