What happens to the solar energy that planets receive from the sun when you move further in to the solar system?

Since intensity of the radiation emanating from the sun is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from it, if you half the distance between us and the sun, the intensity would increase by a factor of 4.
put simply, the closer you get to the sun, the hotter it is.

Do all the planets in your Solar System make their own energy?
. . . Your? Unless you're an alien, I would suggest visiting the grammar section after this. No, all planets receive energy from the Sun.
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.
Do you get energy from the planets?
No, the source of all our energy is from the Sun.
What is one way in which the sun and planets are different?
They are different because they have different atmospheres to the Sun. The main difference is that the Sun is a star which radiates energy and the planets are cold bodies which do not produce energy.
Do planets reflect or radiate energy?
They reflect energy. I learned this the hard way. Losing a point on a test
What happens to the amount of solar energy that planets receive from the sun as you get further out into the solar system?
It reduces with increasing distance.
Do planets receive no light energy?
All planets receive light energy to a greater or lesser extent.
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.
Why does earth receive more energy?
Earth receives more energy from the moon, sun, stars, and other planets

What two planets give off more energy than they receive from the sun?
Taco Bell!
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
Do outer planets receive any energy from the sun?
Yes. They recieve energey from the sun, though less than Earth does.
What happens to the amount of energy as ittransferred from one cosumer to another?
the amount of energy decreases the further up the food chain you go
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!)
Most of earth's ecosystems' main source of energy is the?
The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.
What happens to gas ina container when it is heated?
The gas molecules receive kinetic energy and start to vibrate
