The reasons for the plants temperatures are because the farther they are from the sun the colder they get. Since the sun is the only nearby energy source. Also, as energy travels, it transfers energy to the environment. It is the same principle as if you shoot a bullet. If the bullet did not deliver energy to the enviroment, it would never loose propulsion, and thus travel indefinatly. The longer the planet is from the sun, the less energy is transfered to the planets mass.

What is the reason that life is less likely on the outermost planets compared to the innermost planets


Which planets temperatures range at negative 13 and 37 degrees?

All the planets have temperatures that cover a larger range than that. The Earth goes from about -70 to about +55 degrees C.


Are Jovian planets temperatures higher than terrestrials?

Jovian planets, which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, generally have lower average temperatures than terrestrial planets. This is primarily because Jovian planets are much farther from the Sun and have thick atmospheres that retain heat. However, they can have high temperatures deep within their atmospheres due to gravitational compression and internal heat sources. In contrast, terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars have higher surface temperatures due to their proximity to the Sun.


Why are the temperatures on each of the other planets more extreme than the temperatures on earth?

because there isn't an atmosphere


Do temperatures decrease from the outer to inner planets?

No, temperatures do not consistently decrease from the outer to inner planets. In fact, the inner planets, such as Mercury and Venus, can have extremely high temperatures due to their proximity to the Sun and, in Venus's case, a thick atmosphere that creates a strong greenhouse effect. In contrast, the outer planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, can have much colder temperatures despite being farther from the Sun, primarily due to their gaseous nature and lack of significant solar heating.

Are planets hot?

Some planets are hoot, some are cold, and some have moderate temperatures.


Have humans landed on any planets why or why not?

No, humans have not landed on any planets besides Earth. The main reason is the extreme distances and conditions of other planets in our solar system, such as harsh temperatures, lack of breathable atmosphere, and intense radiation. Sending manned missions to other planets would require significant advancements in technology and resources.
