Mercury. At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury can range from 100K (-173'C) to 700K (430'C). This is due to a very long apparent day length, from a combination of the time taken to orbit and the planets axial rotation. The lack of atmosphere also means that heat is not retained by the planet, despite being the closest to the sun.

Why is the greatest temperature change in the asthenosphere?

The greatest temperature change in the asthenosphere occurs because it is located beneath the lithosphere, where temperatures increase with depth due to geothermal gradient. The asthenosphere is partially molten and experiences significant heat from the Earth's interior, contributing to its plasticity and ability to flow. Additionally, tectonic processes, such as subduction and mantle convection, can further enhance temperature variations within this layer.


In order to decrease the friction an object experiences you can either change the surface?

In order to decrease the friction an object experiences, you can either change the surface of the object or the surface it's in contact with. This can be achieved by using lubricants, smooth materials, or reducing the weight of the object pressing against the surface.
