Question

The average temperature of the planets
(A) has no relationship to the distance from the Sun
(B) decreases with greater distance from the Sun
(C) increases with greater distance from the Sun
(D) depends only on the chemical composition of the
atmosphere of each planet

Answer 1

Answer:

B) decreases with greater distance from the Sun

Explanation:

Sun is the ultimate source of heat and light in our galaxy. The farther you get from it, the more colder you get.

Answer 2

The average temperature of the planets decreases with greater distance from the Sun. Thus, the correct option is B.

What is planet?

A planet is a celestial body which (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self gravity to overcome hard body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

The farther away a planet is from the Sun, the colder the planet is. A planet far from the Sun can be hot if it has a high albedo. A planet far from the Sun can be hot if it has a high greenhouse effect.
