The temperature of planets can vary depending on the path of their orbit around the sun. The closer the planet is to the sun - such as Mercury - the hotter the planet is. And because that planet is so hot, it actually has no ozone layer. As you gradually get further away from the sun, the colder the planets become. Pluto is the coldest planet (or sub planet) because of how far it is away from the sun. It goes over -260 degrees! Planets in the middle (AKA the Rocky Planets) are ranged from warm to high, going from Venus to Neptune

. Also, the biggest planet it's possible to stand on is Jupiter, and if you stood on it, you would weigh twice as much because of the amount of Gravity on there.

What happens to the length of planet year as you move away from the sun?

The more distant the orbit, the longer the year.


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.

What do you think happens to temperature as you move from the earths surface to the center?

Temperature increases as you move from the Earth's surface towards the center. This is because the Earth's core is extremely hot due to the heat generated from radioactive decay and residual heat from the planet's formation.


What happens to your mass as you move from planet to planet?

Your mass does not change. Your weight, however, changes in proportion to the gravity of each planet.


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.


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.


What happens if the speed around the sun decreases or increases?

If the speed around the sun decreases, the orbit will become more elongated and the planet will move farther away from the sun. If the speed increases, the orbit will become more circular and the planet will move closer to the sun. This change in speed can affect the length of the planet's year and the temperatures experienced.


What happens when a planet moves closer to the sun?

When a planet moves closer to the sun, it experiences an increase in temperature. This can lead to changes in its atmosphere, such as stronger winds or the melting of ice caps. The proximity to the sun can also affect the planet's orbit and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
