Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun and its surface temperature?
A
As the distance increase, temperature increases
B
As the distance increases, temperature decreases
C
As the distance decreases, temperature decreases
D
there is no relationship between a plant’s distance from the sun and its surface temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, the surface temperatures of planets decrease with increasing distance from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-2: -The result of this study revealed that the model based on radiation heat transfer state that the fourth power of temperatures at any point is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of that point to the heat source.

Detailed explanation-3: –An inverse relationship exists between distance and temperature for the Jovian planets.-The closer the Jovian planet is to the Sun, the warmer the average surface temperature.

Detailed explanation-4: -As we might expect, the temperatures of the giant planets reflect their increasing distance from the Sun. Received radiation decreases as the inverse square of the distance from an energy source. Put simply, distant planets receive less of the Sun’s warming rays than inner planets.

Detailed explanation-5: -Planets that orbit closer to the Sun than Earth have shorter years than Earth. Planets that orbit farther from the Sun than Earth have longer years than Earth.
