yeah, but the ones farthest away (i.e. Pluto) receive the least amount

How does the sun affect the eight planets of our solar system?
The sun is the primary source of external heat for all eight planets, although in the case of some planets it doesn't provide a lot of heat. The sun also is the largest single factor affecting the orbits of the eight planets.
What would happen to the planets if you took away the sun's gravity?
the planets would not receive heat from the sun and all life on earth would cease to exist. also the planets would not rotate or be held in place. the sun is what holds the planets together in orbit.
What would happen if the sun lost gravity?
because the planets use the sun's gravitaional pull if it lost it all the planets would spiral out wards and earth would freeze because of no heat.
The sun gives off heat and light to what?
Planets in the solar system which orbit the sun.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
The sun is a source of what?
Heat for all the planets and the main reason for the orbits of the planets.
What is the source of heat and light for all the planets?
The sun
What is the source of heat and light for all of the planets?
the sun.
What is the source of the heat and light for all of the planets?
sun
What source of heat and light for all of the planets?
The sun
Does the light from the sun come from the heat of the sun?
yes, as the light travels it brings along heat to all of the planets.

Is the sun capable of its own light?
Yes. The sun produces all the heat and light energy to all the planets in the Solar System.
Why is convection not possible in the heat transfer between the sun and the planets?
There is no air between the Sun and the planets.
What would happen to the planets if you took away the sun's gravity?

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.
Why are the solid planets closest to the sun?
The gas planets would evaporate in extreme heat
