Temperature and pressure increase massively from the Earth's surface to the centre of the Earth. At the inner core, the pressure is so great that iron is solid, even at such high temperatures.

What happens to temperature and pressure as depth beneath earths surface increase?

As depth beneath the Earth's surface increases, both temperature and pressure increase. This is due to the weight of the overlying rock and the Earth's internal heat. The increase in pressure and temperature with depth is known as the geothermal gradient.

What planet temperature is closest to the earths?

Mercury has an average surface temperature (67°) closest to the Earths average surface temperature (14°C). The temperature on Mercury varies a lot though - you could argue that Mars is closer in 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.
