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 gives heat and light to all the planets?

The Sun is the primary source of heat and light for all the planets in our solar system. It emits energy through nuclear fusion reactions in its core, which produces heat and light that reach all the planets, including Earth.


What is the relation between sun and planets?

Planets orbit around the sun due to gravitational attraction. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in their orbits, while the planets also exert a gravitational force on the sun, causing it to wobble slightly. The sun provides the heat and light necessary for the planets to sustain life.


What planet receives more heat from the sun?

Mercury receives the most heat from the sun among all the planets in our solar system. This is because it is closest to the sun and lacks a significant atmosphere to regulate its temperature.


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.

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
