Mean Temperatures on Each Planet

Planetary surface temperatures tend to get colder the farther a planet is from the Sun. Venus is the exception, as its proximity to the Sun, and its dense atmosphere make it our solar system’s hottest planet. The mean temperatures of planets in our solar system are: Mercury – 333°F (167°C), Venus – 867°F (464°C),  EARTH- 59°F (15°C), Mars – Minus 85°F (-65°C), Jupiter – Minus 166°F (-110°C), Saturn – Minus 220°F (-140°C), Uranus – Minus 320°F (-195°C), Neptune – Minus 330°F (-200°C), Dwarf Planet Pluto – Minus 375°F (-225°C)

Planets Mean Temperatures

This graphic shows the mean temperatures of various destinations in our solar system. (Planets not to scale.) In general, the surface temperatures of planets decrease with increasing distance from the Sun. Venus is an exception because its dense atmosphere acts as a greenhouse and heats the surface to above the melting point of lead. Mercury rotates slowly and has a thin atmosphere, and consequently, the night-side temperature can be more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the day-side temperature. It can be as cold as -290°F (-179°C) on Mercury at night.Temperatures for the gas and ice giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are taken from a level in the atmosphere equal in pressure to sea level on Earth.Source: NASA Planetary Fact Sheet Published: February 15, 2022

The 59 degree Celsius average temperature of the earth tallies with what NASA had used as the average world temperature relative to the thirty year period between 1950-1980. This had been used by NASA for more than a century prior to 1995 when it reported a global average of 59.7 degrees Fahrenheit which was slightly ahead of 1990 as the warmest year since record-keeping began in 1866. There had been no significant warming over this period and the dangerous Global warming that was forecast had simply not occurred.

To create the global warming they lowered the global temperature from 59.7 F in 1995 to 58 F when the WMO intervened in 1998:  “According to the new figures, the average global temperature this year will turn out to be about 58 degrees, a full degree warmer than the 1961-1990 average. ”This number’s amazing,” said Dr. Philip D. Jones, a climatologist at the University of East Anglia in England, who had already posted temperatures just below 60 degrees Fahrenheit over decades.. Dr. Jones provided much of the information on which yesterday’s announcement was based.      Earth Temperature in 1998 Is Reported at Record High

This could not have been possible if the average temperature of the Earth, already pegged at 59 degrees Fahrenheit by NASA, is correct.

Dropped By One Degree Celsius from 15 C to 14 C.

They realized that the previous baseline temperature for the period 1950-1980 at 15 C (59 F), illustrated in first NASA graph colored in blue, would no longer fit the narrative so they simply dropped the global temperature by one degree 14 degrees Celsius.  They had used this data for more than 100 years. The NASA global  temperature for 2022 was 14.89 C was similar to NOAA at 14.81 C, we thank Ted Fenton for sending the graph. The data reflect how much warmer or cooler each region was compared to a base period of 1951-1980. (The global mean surface air temperature for that period was 14°C (57°F), with an uncertainty of several tenths of a degree. From NASA World Of Change.

They appear to have plotted a course where the temperatures would hover somewhere around 15.26 C  (59.46 F), nearing the so called dangerous level creating hysteria among children fearing that we have lost control. In fact the global temperature posted for 2022 at 14.81 (58.65  F), shows warming is well on its way to this dangerous temperature but they still won’t say what it is in the detailed statement from the IPCC  below.
