Question

Two planets with the same mass and atmospheric conditions orbit a single star. Planet A is closer to the star than Planet B. Which description explains the expected average surface temperatures of Planets A and B?

Planet B is expected to be cooler than Planet A.
Planet B is expected to be hotter than Planet A.
Both planets are the same temperature.
Distance has no influence on a planet's average surface temperature.

Answer 1

Planet B is expected to be cooler than planet A. 
this results because planet A is closer to the star so it becomes hotter than planet B.

im glad to help with anything

Answer 2

The description explains the expected average surface temperatures of Planets A and B is that Planet B is expected to be cooler than Planet A.

What is the hottest or coldest planet?

We know that there is a quirk between Mercury and Venus, which makes Venus the hottest planet, despite being “second” away from our star. A similar effect also occurs at the other end of the solar system, which makes Uranus the coldest planet ever.

As with the Earth, its axis of rotation is tilted slightly as it moves around the Sun. That means differentiated seasons. Temperatures, which in the Martian summer can exceed the zero degree centigrade barrier, in winter reach minus 140 degrees.
