Question

question 1 of 10
which planet experiences the smallest range of temperatures?
a. mars
b. venus
c. mercury
d. earth

Explanation:

Venus has a thick, dense atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide that creates a strong greenhouse effect, uniformly trapping heat across its entire surface. Unlike Mars (thin atmosphere, large day-night temp swings), Mercury (no atmosphere, extreme day-night differences), and Earth (moderate range due to oceans and atmosphere but larger than Venus), Venus's atmosphere distributes heat so effectively that its surface temperature is nearly constant, resulting in the smallest temperature range.

Answer:

B. Venus
