Temperature of what? Temperature is a "property" of material. Farther away from the sun, the heat (radiation) has spread out over such a wider area that the amount of energy per square foot available to heat anything gets smaller and smaller. Or do you just mean "when you step into a shadow"? Then you are not receiving direct radiation from the sun at all.

What do you notice happens with temperature of the sun as you move outward from the sun?

The sun doesn't care where we are. Its temperature doesn't change as we move about.


Does the temperature of the sun decrease in the night?

The temperature of the sun stays constant. At night, you are facing away from the sun, and the Earth is beyween you and the sun.


What pattern can you see between the serface temperature and the distance from the sun?

The surface temperature of the Earth is affected by many different factors. Although Earth's orbit alters the distance between the sun and Earth, the change in surface temperature is minimal compared to other factors. As evidence of this, consider the surface temperature at the poles, well below freezing at all times. Now compare this with the temperature in the tropics, where the temperature can be 60C higher than the poles. Consider also the change in temperature between night and day. Once again, there is a significant change in temperature with no significant change in distance from the sun. Factors such as cloud, wind and many other meteorological factors change the surface temperature more than the distance from the sun. However, we are able to say that the energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is reduced when Earth is further away from the sun. The amount of energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between sun and Earth.


Why does coal depend on the sun?

Plants roots change into coal by sun due to the high temperature


Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?

Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.

Does the temperature get cooler or warmer traveling from the sun which one?

The temperature gets cooler as you travel away from the sun. The sun's temperature is about 15 million degrees Celsius (27 million degrees Fahrenheit) at its core, and as you move further away, the temperature decreases significantly.


Why do temperature change in the seasons?

The temps change because in the axis is facing away from the sun or toward it.


How does the position of the sun change the temperature during the day?

when the sun is further away the colder it is make sense


Why do the temperatures of the 8 planets change as you get further away from the sun?

The temperatures of the 8 major planets change as you get further away from the sun for the same reason the temperature changes as you move farther from a fire. Heat radiates, but loses intensity the farther you move away from the heat source. The only apparent exception to this is Venus, which is hotter than Mercury even though it's further away from the Sun. This is because Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect due to its atmosphere trapping heat.


Why does air temperature change?

Because earth is like on a axle and the earth spins moving either towards the sun or away from the sun


How does temperature change as someone goes further away from the earth?

it gets colder because there is less warmth from the sun


What causes temperatures to change during the seasons?

The tilt of the Earth. The farther you are away from the sun you are the less heat or the cooler the temperature will be or vise versa. The closer you are to the sun the warmer the temperature will be.


How does the tilt of the Earth and the orbit of Earth around the sun cause the temperature to change throughout the year?

it tilts part of the earth towards the sun and others away.


Does the temperature of the sun decrease in the night?

The temperature of the sun stays constant. At night, you are facing away from the sun, and the Earth is beyween you and the sun.


How does the temperature of planet vary with distance from the sun?

The temperature of a planet varies with the distance from the sun because the sun is hot and the closer something is to the sun, the hotter the object gets. The further away the planet from the sun, the colder the planet.


Is warming up in the sun a physical or chemical change?

It is a chemical change, because the sun converts hydrogen into helium to create heat and light.
