We have images of the surfaces of all the planets. Only Mercury is lacking, as Mariner 10 was only able to map aboput 40% of the surface during its flybys. Venus was mapped by the Magellan probe, and surface photos were taken by a few Russian Venera probes. Mars has been thoroughly mapped by a succession of probes, as well as a number of landers that have returned images from the surface itself.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune have no surface, but they have all been photographed extensively by a series of probes such as Voyager, Galileo, Cassini etc.
Pluto is the only planet as yet unvisited by a probe, although the New Horizons probe is on its way there now, but the Hubble space telescope was able to get low res images of the surface enabling a rough map to be produced.
As well as the planets we have several images of the moons of the solar system too.
As to where you can find them, all over the place. Google 'Nine Planets', 'Venera images' and other things. Visit NASA's website.

Doesn't really tell you anything. You could have a surface temperature of 25 F and still the water in a lake or the ocean would still be 60--70 F. It would depend for how long the surface temperature is 25 F.
