Title: Re: Briefly describe the three factors that would determine planetary temperatures i Post by: lewis on May 4, 2012 In the absence of greenhouse gases, the factors determining the planet's temperature are its distance from the Sun, which determines how much sunlight it receives per square meter; its albedo, how much sunlight that is reflected instead of absorbed by the surface; and how fast it rotates, which determines how the temperature differs between day and night.
