Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though its closer to the sun?
Venus is hotter because it has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a much higher surface temperature than Mercury, despite being farther from the Sun.
Is Mercury hotter than Earth why?
Mercury is hotter than the earth because:It has a thin atmosphere, where much heat can pass throughIt is the closest planet to the SunIt doesn't have an ozone layer
Why is mercury not hotter then Venus?
Mercury is less hotter than Venus because it has a thin atmosphere and the heat that is attracted during day time goes away at night and the temperature becomes -170 degrees while Venus has a thick atmosphere and does not allow heat to pass.
Why is Venus hotter than Mercury even though it is further from the sun?
Venus is hotter than Mercury because of its thick atmosphere made up of carbon dioxide that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a much higher surface temperature compared to Mercury, despite being further from the sun.
Explain why the surface of Venus hotter than the surface of Murcury?
Mercury doesn't have a atmosphere, so one side is always cold and the other is extremely hot. Venus is hotter because it has an atmosphere, and it traps in the heat from the sun, also the gases on Venus acts like a greenhouse effect making it hotter.
How do greeenhouse gases protect earths atmosphere?
They dont they just make the earth hotter
Why is Venus so much hotter than Earth?
Venus is hotter than Earth because of its thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat from the sun through the greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a runaway greenhouse effect, leading to extreme temperatures that make it the hottest planet in our solar system.
From the graph can you generalize that the higher the layer of the athmosphere (that is closer to the sun) hotter temperature why or why not?
Based on the graph, can you generalize that the higher the layer of the atmosphere (that is closer to the sun), the hotter the temperature? Why or why not
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
Why is Venus hotter then it would be if it had no atmosphere?
Due to the greenhouse effect.The thick atmosphere of Venus absorbs radiation from the Sun, but does not readily release it back into space.
What factor causes atmosphere pressure?
Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.
Which planet is the moon hotter than in the daytime?
The moon is hotter than the earth in day time but also colder in night time because the earth has a atmosphere which doesnt object us to as much heat or coldness, but the moon has no atmosphere and take in much heat in day time and freezing cold at night :) So most planets with a larger atmosphere unless really close or really far away to the sun isn't as hotter as the earth
