The incidence of sunlight causes temperatures to reach around 427℃. At night, as there is no atmosphere that can retain the heat of the day, they plummet to -184℃. Despite being the planet closest to the sunit is not the hottest in the solar system and its average temperature is 160℃.
Venus
Welcome to Venus, the planet with the highest temperatures. Venus is covered by a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and clouds of sulfuric acid form. This combination forms the famous greenhouse effect that is responsible for heat being retained and the planet rising in temperature.
Venus can reach temperatures so exorbitant and unbearable that they rise to the 453℃. If they had had oceans, they would have disappeared a long time ago.
The earth
our planet has a medium temperature of 15℃ which is on the rise. If we continue polluting and emitting gases into the atmosphere, we will increase the greenhouse effect. At present, scientists and researchers have already revealed the problems that the climate changecapable of causing extreme climates.
Mars
The red planet is also a place of extreme temperatures. Although daytime temperatures on Mars are close to the temperature we can get in winter on Earth (0℃), its thin atmosphere cannot keep the Sun’s heat. At night temperatures down to -129℃.
The rovers that have set foot on Mars and study the planet have collected data showing that, at some point in the past, there was probably a lot of water, or even underground lakes, at the poles. Added to the temperature, there are phenomena such as dust storms that can leave the planet covered for weeks.
Jupiter
Jupiter is a gas giant It doesn’t have a surface to stand on. A planet where storms abound and a great red spot stands out.
The entire planet is covered by clusters of clouds high in the atmosphere, possibly composed of ammonia. It is the largest in the solar system and its temperature minimum is -163℃ and the maximum of 121℃.
Saturn
Located 1,448 million kilometers from the Sun and dominated by its imposing rings. Almost double the distance to which Jupiter is located and leads it to suffer average temperatures of -176℃.
As a curiosity, the most Earth-like climate in the solar system is found on Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. According to some scientists, this moon may have seasons, rainy clouds and an atmosphere made up of nitrogen. The bad news is that the cycles are methane and not water.
Uranus
The ice giant. reaches temperatures of -218℃. Compared to Earth, Uranus is so far away that it takes 84 Earth years to complete one orbit. That is, each season lasts what here would be 21 years.
Uranus’s axis is crooked and is the cause of some weather changes in its seasons. In summer or winter, in various parts of the planet it is day or night throughout the season.
Neptuno
The farthest planet in the solar system, specifically at an average of 4,506 million kilometers from the Sun. An icy giant with very cold average temperatures of -218℃.
A figure that we have already mentioned before and that coincides with that of Uranus. The reason why both planets have almost the same temperature, despite being at different distances from the Sun, is a mystery.
