It largely depends on how close to the parent star (or sun) the planet is, but planets with no atmosphere will tend to have rather extreme temperatures. They will go from hot days to cold nights more easily as there would be no atmosphere to hold the heat from the sun, so they'll have a larger temperature range throughout the day/night cycle.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system known to have liquid water on its surface and a dense atmosphere suitable for supporting life as we know it. Other planets like Mars might have some water ice at the poles, and Venus has a thick atmosphere but no liquid water on its surface.
Uranus is not habitable for humans because of its extreme cold temperatures, lack of a solid surface, and toxic atmosphere. Its average temperature is around -224 degrees Celsius, and its atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane.
The surface temperature of a planet is calculated using methods such as measuring the amount of sunlight it receives, analyzing its atmosphere composition, and studying its thermal radiation. Scientists use these data to estimate the average temperature on the planet's surface.
The composition of a planet's atmosphere, including the presence of oxygen, is crucial for human respiration. Depending on the composition, a thick atmosphere might not contain enough oxygen for human survival, making it impossible to breathe. Additionally, other gases or compounds in the atmosphere can be harmful or toxic to humans.
Venus has a very hot greenhouse effect. In fact, it makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system. The thick carbon dioxide atmosphere holds the heat very effectively, like a runaway greenhouse effect. Surface temperatures on Venus average 900° Fahrenheit, 735° Kelvin or 460° Celsius.

In a very hot, dry and a humid atmosphere - I'll say!Are they looking for a planet where that might happen? If so, it's Venus.
Nobody knows for certain what the surface of Jupiter looks like below its atmosphere. Since the planet is a gas giant, we might expect it to look something like the surface of the sun, but not on fire.
It depends on how far away the planet is from a star. If it's close, it's hot. Also, if the planet rotates on its axis there would be a big day-night temperature difference.
You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.
not on the surface but might be some under the surface of the planet...??
Gravity: Of course it has gravity. Any planet - moreover, any object that has mass (mass is what you measure in kilograms) has gravity. Atmosphere: You might say that Jupiter consists only of atmosphere. It is a gas giant, just as Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune. Specifically, it doesn't have a surface on which you might stand.
Venus has a thick atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid, which creates extreme greenhouse conditions. Its surface is characterized by volcanic plains, large volcanoes, and extensive mountain ranges. The planet lacks liquid water, but if we consider hypothetical spheres, they might include a dense atmosphere sphere, a volcanic terrain sphere, and a surface sphere reflecting the harsh environmental conditions. Overall, Venus presents a hostile environment with high temperatures and pressure, making it a unique and challenging planet for exploration.
If Mercury had the same mass as Earth, its temperatures would likely be higher due to the increased heat capacity. The thicker atmosphere created by the higher mass would help retain and distribute heat more effectively, resulting in more stable surface temperatures across the planet. However, the exact temperature differences would depend on factors like its proximity to the sun and specific atmospheric composition.
The answer that you are looking for is "Venus". That planet has a dense atmosphere of CO2, which has produced a runaway greenhouse effect. When the Earth ocean evaporate, as in this scenario, all of the dissolved CO2 will be liberated and end up in the atmosphere as well, giving us a Venus like greenhouse.

By definition a planet cannot be a satellite. A planet is a body that has cleared most of the debris in its orbit about a star. However, a satellite might have an atmosphere. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, has an atmosphere more dense than that of earth.
