If earth had a thinner atmosphere how would average nighttime temperatures be affected?

the temperatures at night would be colder because of lack of the greenhouse effect


Can Greenhouse gases change Earth's average surface temperature?

Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.


Does Uranus have the coldest temperatures?

Yes, the average temperatures are -184.C.


What is the hottest terrestrial planet?

Venus is the hottest terrestrial planet, and hottest overall. It thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat effectively. Surface temperatures on Venus average 735 Kelvin or 460 °C. Mercury is closer to the sun, but it has no atmosphere to hold the heat in.


Do greenhouse gasses make Earth's atmosphere warmer and if so why?

Greenhouse gasses, so called because of the similarity of their heat retention effect to that of actual greenhouses, cause gradual increase of atmospheric temperature by admitting daytime solar energy but blocking normal, nighttime (rising) heat escape (to outer space) at the upper atmosphere. Normal exchanges of "greenhouse" with non-greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere serve to limit heat retention and thereby stabilize average atmospheric temperatures; but disruption of normal atmosperic gas exhange can become cause for alarm at the prospect of unlimited increase of average atmosperic temperatures.

Which planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?

Venus does. It's atmosphere is made of up 96.5% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and has an average temperature of 464C.


What planet in the solar system has the hottest average surface temperature?

Venus, due to its close proximity to the sun and because of its thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere, which holds the heat more effectively (Mercury has no atmosphere). Surface temperatures on Venus average 735 Kelvin or 460 °C.


What are the average temperatures on Mercury?

VERY COLD! Mercury has no atmosphere to retain the heat, so on the side not facing the Sun, it can get down to like, -270 degrees Fahrenheit
