How are the surface temperature and length of year on a planet related to the planets distance from the sun?

Surface temperature is like a fire and your hand, the shorter the distance between your hand and the flame is hotter than when your hand is farther from the flame.
The length of a year is determined by the duration of time that it takes for a planet to make one revolution around it's star, this may also be governed by other factors, such as the three laws of motion, for example; Mercury (the closest planet to the sun) takes 87.969 Earth days to orbit the sun, Earth takes 365 days to orbit the sun, while Neptune happens to take 60,190 days or 164.79 years to orbit the sun.

Which of the inner planets has the highest average surface temperature?
That is Venus.
Which planet has the highest surface temperatures?
Venus has the highest surface temperature of all the planets.
Which of the eight planets of our solar system has the lowest surface temperature?
Technically speaking, Neptune is the planet with the lowest surface temperature; however, Neptune does not have a solid surface.
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
What are the causes of daily variations in temperature on a planets surface?
the speed of a planet's rotation
Which planets are hotter than the Earth?
All eight planets have a surface temperature, though it varies as the planets distance from the sun varies. Closer planets to the sun generally have a higher surface temperature, while further planets have a colder surface temperature.
How is the brightness of a star related to its distance from the sun?
the color of the sun sun depends on its surface temperature
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the other surface temperatures of the inner planets?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
What planets have warm temperature on surface?
Only the Earth.
