There are a number of factors which affect the surface temperature of planets. First, there is sunlight which is a source of warmth. Then, there are various types of atmosphere, which retain warmth to varying degrees. Then, there is the radiation of heat into space, by means of infrared radiation, which happens on the side of the planet that faces away from the sun, and cools the planet.

How does the distance that a planet is from the sun effects the temperature of the planet?

the further a planet is from the sun the hotter it is but if the planet is closer to the sun the colder it is(just saying I don't think this is right but if it is yay for me)


What is the planet temp of planet Saturn?

the temperature of planet saturn is -172C


How does changing a planet's albedo change a planet's temperature?

If you increase the albedo, more solar radiation will be reflected back into space and so the temperature will be lowered.


Which of planet has the higher temperature?

Venus in the hottest planet in our solar system. It has an average temperature of around 900 degrees Fahrenheit.


How does the temperature of the planet vary with the sun?

The temperature of a planet varies with the distance from the sun because the sun is hot and the closer something is to the sun, the hotter the object gets. The further away the planet from the sun, the colder the planet.

What is the surface temperature on Jupiter?

Jupiter is a very cold planet. It has an average surface temperature of around -234 degrees Fahrenheit. Jupiter's temperature depends on the temperature on the inside of the planet, not by its distance from the sun.
