Why is Uranus' ocean hot?

The heat in Uranus’ ocean is generated through a combination of gravitational forces and the decay of radioactive elements within its core. This heat contributes to the overall temperature of the planet and keeps its ocean in a liquid state.


Planet with hot surface and no atmosphere?

Mercury is a planet with a hot surface and virtually no atmosphere. During the day, temperatures can reach up to 430 degrees Celsius, while at night they can drop to around -180 degrees Celsius due to the lack of atmosphere to retain heat.


What single factor explains why the planet should have active tectonics and volcanism and an atmosphere produced by volcanic outgassing?

The single factor that explains this is the presence of a hot interior. If a planet has a hot interior, it can drive tectonic activity and volcanism. Volcanic outgassing from these processes can then contribute to the creation and maintenance of an atmosphere.


What causes the major heat on Venus'?

Well as you know, Venus is the second closes to the sun and so therefore that is what causes the heat on Venus. Not completely true. Mercury is closer, but Venus is still hotter than it. The reason Venus is so hot is because of its atmosphere. It consists of mostly greenhouse gasses that trap the radiant solar energy and keeps it from escaping the planet. Yes, the sun provides the heat to the planet, but it is the atmoshphere that traps that heat and keeps the planet extremely hot.


Is Jupiter very hot?

As with any planet, the interior of Jupiter is quite hot, but at the level in its atmosphere where pressure is similar to what we find on Earth it is actually quite cold.

What planet has opaque atmospheres to keep it hot?

Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths. The thick atmosphere keeps the suns heat in, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.


Opaque atmosphere keeps this planet hot?

The planet's atmosphere traps heat from the sun, causing the temperature to rise due to the greenhouse effect. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and heats the planet's surface, but some of this heat is trapped by gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane, leading to a warmer climate.


Water keeps the planet from getting to hot and cold?

A planet with a thin atmosphere is?

Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.


Which planet is hot because of its thick atmosphere?

Venus is the hottest planet, as it is close to the sun and also has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere that holds the heat effectively.Venus is extremely hot because its thick atmosphere, rich in carbon dioxide, traps heat energy from the sun.
