Kentucky Senator debunks Global Warming!

[89Hen]

Mars aint the kind of place to raise a kid. In fact, it's cold as hell.

This Senator is no Rocket (Scientist) Man

Glad somebody got that one.

Don't get butthurt, Hen. We all "got" it...you're not THAT obtuse.

Aside from being named after the God of War and being Red, I don't know anything. However, common sense says that the further you are from a heat source, the colder you'll be.

Not necessarily. Depends if the planet has enough mass to have a molten core like Earth does.

Like I said, I don't know anything about planetary science other than the further away from the sun, I would assume, the planets would have lower temperatures. Beyond that common knowledge, I don't know the ins and outs of the planets.

As the planets in our Solar System get further away from the Sun, they generally get colder. So what is the coldest planet of our Solar System. That would be Neptune, the 8th and final planet in the Solar System. If Pluto was still a planet, it would be colder, but now it’s Neptune.
Neptune is located 4.5 billion km from the Sun, on average, and it receives a fraction of the sunlight that the other planets receive. In fact, even though it’s only a little further from the Sun than Uranus, it sees only 40% of the solar radiation received by Uranus.
The surface temperature of Neptune dips down to 72 kelvin, or -201° C. That’s cold. You might be surprised to know that the temperature on the surface of Uranus isn’t much warmer. It only gets as cold as 76 kelvin, or -197° C. You would expect Neptune to be much colder than Uranus, but astronomers think that it has a higher internal temperature, and so more of its internal heat reaches the surface and prevents it from being truly frigid.

Interesting.

I think that's true for all except Mercury and Venus.. Venus is the hottest planet because it has an atmosphere that keeps the heat in unlike Mercury... at least that's what I recall from either Nova or Cosmos.

But both of you are aware that Guam cannot tip over and capsize, though amirite?

Well aware of that. Only a Georgian idiot would say that.
