Yes, this is because the farther one is from the Sun the less radiation you absorb and the colder you get. This all assuming there are no other effects like global warming (such as on Venus and Earth) and internal heat production (like on Jupiter and Saturn)

Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
What are the two closest planets to Jupiter?
The two closest planets are Mars and Saturn. Mars is closer to the sun, Saturn is farther from the sun.
Why do gas giants generally lhave lower average temperaturers than the terrestrial planets?
they are farther from the sun
What planets have a longer revolutions?
The ones that are farther from the sun have longer revolutions.
Why do planets orbit the sun longer than other planets do?
because the farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to make one orbit
What characteristics do most planets that are farther from the sun have in common?
They are generally colder.
How does the of the planet temperature vary with the distance from the Sun?
Roughly speaking, as you go farther away from the Sun, planets get colder.
Is any of the other nine existing planets cold?
All the planets farther away from the Sun is colder than Earth.
Do planets get colder when there away from the sun?
Yes planets get colder when further away from the Sun.
How come being so much farther from the sun would effect the outer planets?
The outer planets are colder, and life cannot be supported there in such cold conditions.
Does the sun give heat to every planet?
Yes it does but the planets closer to the sun get more heat and the planets that are farther away get less heat. That is why Venus is hotter than our Earth and Mars is colder.
How are the planets closr to the sun different from those that are located farther from the sun?
Those located further are much colder. And generally much bigger. (Except for Pluto but Pluto isn't a planet anymore)
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
What effect do you think being so much farther from the sun would have on the outer planets?
it would be much much colder and revolve slower because of weaker gravity
Why does it take the pouter planets so long to orbit the sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Are the planets moving farther from the sun over time?
No.
