[Feature Request]: Consider Day/Night cycle in planet temperature

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Heat protection on Mercury and Venus is something that is ALWAYS required - regardless of time of day. This makes sense on Venus, as its CO2-rich atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect. However, on Mercury, which has no atmosphere, the surface temperatures can range from -180°C at night to +430°C during the day. In Ad Astra, however, the temperature is always the same (460°C), regardless of time of day.
Solution(s)
Ad Astra should allow for some planets to have different temperatures depending on time of day. Planets like the Mercury, as well as potentially Mars, Glacio, and the Moon, could have a colder night time temperature, and a higher day time temperature. However, Venus would remain constant.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The temperature could also maybe be based on sunlight exposure. The temperature mods I develop, Frostiful and Scorchful, work in this way. So if the player goes underground or into the shade, then the heat isn't so bad (or the cold is worse, depending on how you look at it).

Additional context
This was something I noticed while developing an integration between Ad Astra and the Thermoo-based temperature mods Frostiful and Scorchful in Thermoo Patches. I know that temperature is not a particularly in-depth mechanic in Ad Astra, but those who do use temperature mods like mine may appreciate this consistency.
