The distance from the sun affects a planet's atmosphere by influencing its temperature and composition. Planets closer to the sun tend to have hotter temperatures, leading to more volatile gases evaporating and potentially thinner atmospheres. On the other hand, planets farther from the sun have colder temperatures, which can result in more stable atmospheres with heavier gases.

How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?
Distances between outer planets are greater than distances between inner planets in our solar system. The outer planets are much farther from the Sun compared to the inner planets.
What two factors affect a planets revolution?
Two factors that affect a planets revolution are distance from the sun and size.
Could you show the planets relative sizes and distances from the sun in the same diagram on one page?

What provides the energy that affect the movement of the atmosphere?
The sun
In what atmosphereic layer are the planets?
Planets are not a part of the earth's atmosphere. They orbit the sun as the earth does, at great distances from the earth. Several of them have atmospheres of their own.
Do planets take turns orbiting?
No. The planets all orbit the sun at the same time. The planets occupy different orbits at different distances from the sun so they do not affect one another significantly.
How does the sun affect the atmosphere?
The atmosphere does not affect the sun. If anything the sun affects the atmosphere.
Why do the outer planets still have an atmosphere?
Because gases exist even at great distances from the sun. Also the large gas planets have internal heating sources emitting from their core.
What affect does gravity have on the planets?
The planets' own gravity has made them spherical. Also there are other effects such as their ability to retain an atmosphere, etc. The Sun's gravitycauses the orbits of the planets.
What is the distances between the sun and the other planets in the solar system?
The difference is that the sun is a star, the other planets are just planets
What is the third planet closest to Earth?
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.
How does the distance of the sun affect the velocity of a planet?
From Kepler's laws it can be shown that the orbital speeds of the planets are proportional to the inverse square root of their distances from the Sun. Thus a planets at four times the distance would travel at half the speed.
What affect does the sun have on one of your planets?
the affect is 90 between two planets
Are inner planets found at great distances from the sun?
yes, however as compared to the outer planets, no.
What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?
Distances between outer planets are greater than distances between inner planets in our solar system. The outer planets are much farther from the Sun compared to the inner planets.
How did distance from the sun affect the size and composition of the plantes?
Planets closer to the sun tend to be smaller and have rockier compositions, while planets farther from the sun tend to be larger and have more gaseous compositions. This is due to the different conditions and materials available at varying distances from the sun during the formation of the solar system.
