Because of Earth's orbital location and atmosphere, the temperatures are within a much smaller range than for the gas giant Saturn.

The temperature at the top of Saturn's clouds averages -285° F (-175 °C). This is because the thin gas does not retain heat, and solar radiation at Saturn's orbital distance is minimal. The core of Saturn is much hotter, estimated at 11,700 °C, mainly due to extraordinary pressure and tidal forces in the thickening atmosphere.

On Earth, geothermal heating is negligible, and the planet is heated by the Sun, alternately heating and cooling as it rotates. Atmospheric currents keep the temperature range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F) for most of the planet, with extremes of -89° and +58°C (-128°F and 136°F).
