Distance from the sun, size of the molten core, composition of the atmosphere and in some cases, speed of orbit / closeness to another heavenly body of greater mass which causes friction by pulling the crust/interior of the other planet in directions it would've experience if it was away from other objects.

How much light and warmth a planet receives depends on what?

A planet's proximity to the Sun affects how much light and warmth it will receive. In addition to its distance from the Sun, surface reflectivity as well as the planet's atmosphere or greenhouse effect. Light from the Sun will either be reflected back into space or make it to the ground to heat it up.


The amount of light and warmth a planet from the sun depends on what factors?

The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on its distance from the sun, the intensity of sunlight reaching the planet, and its atmosphere composition, which affects how much of the sunlight is absorbed or reflected. These factors collectively determine the temperature and conditions on the planet's surface for supporting life.


The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on what factors?

The amount of light and warmth a planet receives from the sun depends on its distance from the sun, its tilt or axial tilt, and its atmosphere. These factors determine how much solar radiation is absorbed and reflected by the planet, influencing its overall temperature and climate.
