How does the temperature of the planet vary with the distance fromthe sun?
In general the temperature of a planet falls with distance from the sun. However, Venus is nearly 90% further from the sun than Mercury but, instead of being cooler, Venus is 40% hotter.
What is the temperature on the side of Mercury not facing the sun?
about 1,000 degrees
How a planet's surface temperature would likely to change with increased distance from the sun?

How does the temperature of Venus vary with the distance from the sun?
the more further the planet the more colder!
How does the inner planets distance from the sun relate to the average surface temperature of the planet?
You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.
Which two planets are hot facing the sun but cold turned away from the sun?
murcuary venus?
Does the temperature of the sun decrease in the night?
The temperature of the sun stays constant. At night, you are facing away from the sun, and the Earth is beyween you and the sun.

What is Mariner 2?
the first encounter with another planet. it was a spacecraft sent by NASA to venus. it measured venus' temperature and is now thought to be orbiting the sun.
Why does Venus have higher surface temperature than mercury even though Venus is farther from the sun?
Thick atmosphere on Venus none on Mercury
What planet has the hottest temperature when facing the sun?
Venus. The greenhouse effect (the trapping of hot air on the planet's surface) is essentially turned to the max, so when Sol is shining on it, it becomes even hotter.
What is the temperature on the side of Mercury not facing the sun?
about 1,000 degrees

Which planet has the hottest surface temperature?
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus is the hottestas the thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere.
How hot does it get on the side of Mercury closet to the sun?
At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury (facing the sun) can reach 700K (430'C).
Does Venus gets its energy from the sun or volcanoes?
I'm not sure what you mean by "energy". The temperature of Venus is generally attributed to "Green House Effect" and is the result of the sun's energy being trapped by the Venus cloud cover.
How does the temperature of the planet vary with the distance of the sun?
VERY ROUGHLY, as you get farther away form the Sun, the temperatures decrease.
