Proximity of the sun

The sun is at the heart of the solar system. All of the bodies in the solar system — planets, asteroids, comets, etc. Its close proximity boosts the world's temperature, and makes it difficult to hold on to its atmosphere.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. One amazing fact-it is not the hottest planet , venus is because of the gas around the venus which captures the heat and all make the .

The distance from the sun affects, for on thing, the temperature of the planets.

Smaller, rocky planets tend to form closer in, where the higher temperatures evaporate gases.

Proximity to the moon, probably not. The first four (rocky) planets are more-or-less evenly spaced in steps of roughly to million miles from the sun. These drastic temperature changes are due to the fact that mercury has little to no atmosphere to hold in heat. I read an article years ago stating that the further from the Sun the planet is, the faster the winds. Pluto — its distance from the Sun varies between 29.

Its mean distance from the Sun is 39. AU and its orbit eccentricity is 0. Its period is 2(Earth) years. Jupiter is truly massive since it is made up of 99. Sun has an apparent rotation on its own axis (as does Jupiter) . Venus orbits the Sun at about the distance between the Sun and the Earth.

Although there are no facilities on site, all are within close proximity of the park. The Dome Fuji deep ice core, Antarctica, with drill. Hideaki Motoyama, National Institute of Polar Research, Japan.

But its proximity to our planet depends on the orbits of both. The two planets travel in ellipses around the sun , and so the distance between them is constantly shifting. At its farthest, Venus lies 1million miles (2million kilometers) away.
