For planets in our solar system, it's different for each planet:
Mercury is very close to the Sun. The temperature on the sunny side can reach 430 Celsius (800 Fahrenheit).
Venus has a thick atmosphere, which traps heat via the greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is about 460 Celsius (860 Fahrenheit).
Earth has an average surface temperature of about 7 Celsius (44 Fahrenheit).
Mars has an average surface temperature of about -63 Celsius (-81 Fahrenheit).
The average temperature of Jupiter is about and around -113 Celsius (-172 Fahrenheit).
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are progressively colder, due to being further from the Sun. Pluto was demoted from planetary status.

Each planet varies widely in temperature depending mainly on the distance from the sun and the location on the planet and indeed the season. For example you'll get frozen CO2 on a pole of Mars while it is tilted away from the sun.

There are eight planets in our solar system, 246 known planets outside our solar system. For most of them, we only have theoretical temperature measurements. I'm not going to take the time to describe all 254 planets. Do that yourself

There are too many variables. Every planet has different circumstances.
