Question

Mercury and Venus were observed to absorb less amount of energy from the sun making these planets too Cold for life to exist and develop.


TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 1

Answer:

It is false as Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system

Answer 2

Mercury and Venus were observed to absorb less amount of energy from the sun making these planets too Cold for life to exist and develop is False

Explanation:

Mercury:

• The Sun, in the larger scheme of things, is by far the most powerful generator of energy in the Solar System. While radioactivity and gravitational contraction may provide a significant amount of energy to the cores of huge planets, the light and heat emitted by our parent star is responsible for the vast majority of the planet's surface temperature.
• The Sun, to a good approximation, keeps not only Earth, but all the planets at a temperature that is well above what they would be without it: just a few Kelvin.

Venus:

• On average, Venus is nearly twice as far from the Sun as Mercury, round the Sun in about 225 Earth days. It also rotates at a slower rate than Mercury, spending more than 100 Earth days in sunshine followed by an equal amount of time in darkness.
• But there's a surprise when you measure the temperature of Venus: it's the same temperature all the time, day or night, at 735 Kelvin (462 °C / 863 °F), making it much hotter than Mercury!
