What color is Mercurys sky?
It's black, like the night time but no moon.
What might the surface temperature be like on a planet with no atmosphere?
It depends on how far away the planet is from a star. If it's close, it's hot. Also, if the planet rotates on its axis there would be a big day-night temperature difference.
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
How would the depth of an atmosphere change if a planet warms up or cools off?
I guess that the atmosphere would change in terms of depth if the planets temperature changed enough.
What is called when trapping heat by the atmosphere of Venus?
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
If the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night?
if the earth did not have an atmosphere temperature extremes between day and night would be what?

The role of atmosphere in climate control?
The atmosphere prevents the sudden increase in temperature during the daylight hours. And during the night, it slows down the escape of heat into outer space. +++ It would be more accurate and more to the point to state that without the atmosphere there would be no climate!
What is the temperature during the day and the night at Jupiter?
Jupiter's temperature at night depends on a lot of factors. The latitude and the depth in the atmosphere are the most important. First, there is probably not much difference between daytime and nighttime temperature. The rotational period of Jupiter is about ten hours, so night is only 5 hours long. This does not allow much time for cooling and heating during a day cycle. Second and most important, the place in the atmosphere will play a part in the temperature. At the place where the atmosphere is at the same pressure as Earth's (1 atmosphere) the average temperature is about -110° C. Closer to the surface, the temperature would be higher. Farther out it would be lower. Due to the immense thickness of the atmosphere, I would say they is not much variation at the 1 atmosphere level between daytime and nighttime, so use the -110° C figure as a guide. S if you really want to know the answer dog, its -110.In Jupiter the temperature changes very often. In the day Jupiter is 250 degrees but at night it is 143 degrees.
What is the planet mercurys atmosphere made of?
Mercury has a surface pressure that is near enough zero (or a vacuum), the planet holds no real atmosphere due to its small size. There are some trace gases at the surface, but not what one would call a proper atmosphere.

What is the temperature of night on Saturn?
Saturn is the gas Giant with tiny core deep down the atmosphere. Surface temperature of Saturn is govern by its' thermodynamic cycle of rise and sink of massive gases. I believe, the surface temperature at the reference surface would not be of any great difference may be 10,000 oC with insignificant difference of day and night.
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
What would happen if the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased?
The atmosphere would become much smaller and the earth would become much colder during winter and also at night.
What would happen if the earth's atmosphere was filled with dust that blocked the sun's rays?
If the earth's atmosphere was filled with dust that blocked the sun's rays, a sudden climate change would occur all over the planet from its temperature to freezing and that climate change would effect biodiversity. Also, the sun would not be able to produce day and night.
How can the atmosphere affect the temperature of a planet?
The atmosphere moderates temperature changes, keeping the surface warm at night and cool in the day. Without an atmosphere on Earth the temperature would probably go from about +100 degrees to -100 degrees every 24 hours. The atmosphere keeps it nicely within a range of ten degrees usually. Carbon dioxide allows radiant heat through to the Earth's surface but blocks heat being radiated away from the surface which is at a relatively low temperature. So it produces a 'greenhouse' effect which raises the surface temperature, but only by a little at present. On Venus, which has a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere, the greenhouse effect has made the surface temperature 400-500 degrees C.
