The moon is in an orbit where it will never face us. Whenever the moons dark side is faced away it will always be in the shade, thus making it colder. Same with the bright side.

Fun fact for you: The Apollo astronauts were the only people to see the dark side of the moon.

What planet has a hot temperature?

Even though Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus is hotter, with its atmosphere causing a runaway greenhouse effect. Surface temperatures are around 735K - hot enough to melt lead.


What is the name of the uppermost layer of the atmosphere and why does it feel so cold there even though the pressure can be very high?

The uppermost layer of the atmosphere is the thermosphere. It feels cold because even though there are few gas molecules present to transfer heat, the few molecules that are present can have very high energies due to high temperatures created by solar radiation. This means that even though the temperature is high, it may not feel hot due to the lack of molecules to transfer that heat.

Which layer has high temperatures but does not feel hot?

The thermosphere, one of the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere, has high temperatures but does not feel hot to us because of the extremely low density of molecules in this layer. The lack of molecules means that there is not enough matter to transfer heat to our bodies, making it feel cold even though the temperatures are high.

What are some ways the atmosphere protects living things?

Maintains even temperatures, keeps out UV Rays, holds in air.


How is the atmosphere of Venus different from that of other planets?

It has a strong greenhouse effect and its atmosphere is so thick it holds in heat in such a way that it is hotter than Mercury, even though Mercury is closer it the sun, because Mercury has no atmosphere. It is also, near the surface, very high in sulfuric acid vapor.


Why is it important for everyone to study even though people have different levels of artistic talent?

Even though people have different levels of artistic talent, everyone's' abilities can be improved by study.


Why isn't the thermosphere a hot place even though it has very high temperatures?

The thermosphere has very low density of molecules, so even though it has high temperatures, there are very few molecules to transfer that heat to objects such as satellites. This is why satellites can operate in the thermosphere without overheating.


Is even when a conjunction?

Yes, it is a coordinating conjucntion. Its use is slightly different from the compound forms "even if" or "even though."


How can a gallon of milk can have different density than a gallon of water even though it has the same volume?

Though they have same volume,they have different masses.


Where does the coldest temperature occur in the atmosphere?

If you are talking about Earth the Exosphere can reach temperatures of 2,500 °C (4,530 °F) during the day. Even though the temperature is so high, you would not feel warm even in the thermosphere which can get up-to 1,500 °C (2,730 °F), you would feel no heat due to the fact there are so few molecules and it is so close to vacuum. Since there is no clear boundary between outer space and the exosphere, the exosphere is sometimes considered a part of outer space. So people use the Thermosphere as the delineator
