The hottest and coldest places in the Solar System
This relatively small world is the most volcanically active body in the Solar System, with roughly 400 active volcanoes dotting its surface. These volcanoes erupt lava and gasses, sometimes
The total solar irradiance controls the climate
Warming was observed on Mars and other planets, attributed to a “solar summer” and alternation by the quasi-bicentennial climate conditions throughout the Solar system.

OverviewHistoryShape and sizeOrbit and rotationGeologyOriginExplorationFurther reading
Enceladus is the sixth-largest moon of Saturn and the 18th largest in the Solar System. It is about 500 kilometres (310 miles) in diameter, about a tenth of that of Saturn''s largest moon, Titan. It is covered by clean, freshly deposited snow hundreds of meters thick, making it one of the most reflective bodies of the Solar System. Consequently, its surface temperature at noon reaches only −198 °C (75.1 K; −324.4 °F), far colder than

And you think it is hot/cold here! Temperature Profile of the Solar
• Mars'' thin atmosphere allows wide night/day, latitude, and seasonal temperature swings. • Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune radiate more energy than they receive from the sun.

Temperatures Across Our Solar System
We mean waaaay out there in our solar system – where the forecast might not be quite what you think. Let''s look at the mean temperature of the Sun, and the planets in our solar system.
Space photovoltaics for extreme high-temperature missions
Solar arrays for space are not subject to these effects, but instead have a different set of environmental hazards, including more extreme temperature cycles, particulate and ultraviolet radiation in space,
