How does the temp of the planets vary with the distance from the sun?

Generally speaking, the further a planet is from the sun, the colder it is, since less of the suns energy reaches a given area of the planets surface. Other factors come into play though, such as the rotation of the planet, its composition, size and atmosphere. Venus is the hottest planet, though it is only second from the sun. this is because Mercury has no atmosphere, while Venus has a very thick, heat retaining atmosphere.

Unlike the other planets Mercury has a huge range in surface temperature due to lack of atmosphere. At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury can range from 100K (-173'C) to 700K (430'C).**temperature at the 1.0 bar pressure level
