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

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 radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are?

Two examples of planets that radiate away more energy than they receive from the sun are Jupiter and Saturn. These gas giants emit more thermal energy due to their internal heat sources, such as radiation leftover from their formation and gravitational compression.

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.


Do all the gas giants emit much more energy than they receive from the sun?

Yes, gas giants like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune emit more energy than they receive from the sun. This excess energy is primarily due to the planets' internal heat sources, including residual heat from their formation and energy generated by processes like gravitational contraction.


What is the antonym for the word receive?

The usual antonym for receive is give. It is more blessed to give than it is to receive.
