The amount of light and warmth a planet from the sun depends on what factors?
The amount of light and warmth a planet receives depends on their distance from the sun and the atmosphere. If the atmosphere has high levels of Carbon Dioxide, the gases will trap more heat.
The amount of light and warmth a planet receives depends on what?
distance and atmosphere
What affects the amount of solar energy that the planet receives?
well what affects solar energy i dont have a clue the question is what affects the amount of the solar energy that the planet receives.....
What planet receives the most energy from the sun?
Mars is the closest planet to the sun, and receives the most energy.
What are the factors to which escape speed is dependent?
The escape speed depends upon:Mass of the planetSize of the planet

Does precipitation affect the amount of solar energy the planet receives?
no
What is the amount of sunlight on the planet of Uranus?
Uranus receives about 1/400 that we receive on Earth
How does a planet's distance from the sun affect its temperature?
The further you go away from the sun the less heat and light you receive.There is an inverse square relationship between the distance and the amount of solar energy that strikes a planet.So, if a planet is twice (2 x) as far away from the Sun as the Earth is, it receives only one quarter (1/4) the amount of energy, three times (3 x) as far receives only one ninth (1/9) the energy, and so on.That's the basic theory, but there are other factors that can affect the actual temperature on the surface of a planet.For example, the "greenhouse effect" makes Venus much hotter than predicted.
What planet receives the most energy from the sun?

What is Jupiter's amount of sunlight?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest in the Solar System. It receives around 1/27 as much sunlight as Earth.
What 2 factors combine to define the amount of gravity that exists on the surface of a planet?
-- The product of the masses of the planet and the object on its surface; -- The distance between their centers of mass ... roughly the planet's radius.
Which planet receives the most sunlight?
Mercury
Which planet receives the most light from the sun and why?
Mercury, because it is the closest planet to the sun.
