Here you go! I did not know this either...cool! I can tell you have an accent - maybe another language, so I searched it for you...

You will have to copy and paste the url...Good luck!
The part you want to read is the first part "Planets," and the fifth or sixth paragraph says,
"The outer four planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are called gas giants or Jovian (Jupiterlike) planets. They have gaseous atmospheres and no solid surfaces. All four Jovian planets consist mainly of hydrogen and helium. Smaller amounts of other materials also occur, including traces of ammonia and methane in their atmospheres. They range from 3.9 times to 11.2 times Earth's diameter and from 15 times to 318 times Earth's mass. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune give off more energy than they receive from the sun. Most of this extra energy takes the form of infrared radiation, which is felt as heat, instead of visible light. Scientists think the source of some of the energy is probably the slow compression of the planets by their own gravity."
This is a NASA website, si is a credible source! Have fun! Jeannie

How does the planets distance from the sun affect its conditions?
The farther away from the sun the planet is, the more space it has to cover. Therefore, the planets distance from the sun whereas, if i am half the distance from Earth/Sun, that planet will get more energy. But if I am twice the distance from Earth/Sun, I will receive less energy.
What planet gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all give off more heat than they receive.
Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Why do the areas near the equator receive more solar energy?
the sunlight hits it directly.
How are stars and planets different?
First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat
What two planets give off more energy than they receive from the sun?
Taco Bell!
Why does earth receive more energy?
Earth receives more energy from the moon, sun, stars, and other planets
Which two of the following planets do NOT give off more radiation than they receive from the Sun?
The following means that you have to give choices.
What two planets give off more energy form the sun?
Venus and jupiter
Why is the temperature higher in the inner planets than the outer planets?
Planets closer to the sun will receive more of the suns energy per unit of area on their surface than planets further from the sun, so will generally be hotter.
Two planets that are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun are?
Jupiter and Saturn......... by R.E
What two planets are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun?
jupiter, saturn, and neptune (theres a third!)

Do the inner planets or the outer planets get more of the sun's energy?
the inner planets
Can you please help me write a sentence with the words receive and give?
The more you give, the more you receive. the more you give the more you receive.
Two planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are?
It depends a bit on what radiation wavelengths are observed. The basic answer is Jupiter and Saturn.
In what way do planets look different from stars?
Firstly, planets are way way smaller than the stars! That's because you can see stars in the night but never planets. Also stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they give thermal ( heat ) energy. Also stars have more gravity than planets.
