How is the distance from the sun for planets in our solar system related to the mean temperature of each planet? To find out, a scatterplot that relates the natural log of the distance of each planet (including Pluto) from the sun in millions of miles and the natural log of the mean planetary temperature in Kelvin was created. Based on the scatterplot and computer output, a reasonable estimate of mean temperature in Kelvin for Saturn, which is 886.7 million miles away from the sun is: 4.822 degrees Kelvin because ŷ = −0.4536(In 886.7) + 7.9009 = 4.822. 124.2 degrees Kelvin because and e4.822 = 124.2. 709.0 degrees Kelvin because and e6.564 = 709.0. 0.05 degrees Kelvin because and e−3.008 = 0.0494.

How is the distance from the sun for planets in our solar system related to the mean temperature of each planet? To find out, a scatterplot that relates the natural log of the distance of each planet (including Pluto) from the sun in millions of miles and the natural log of the mean planetary temperature in Kelvin was created.

 

 

Based on the scatterplot and computer output, a reasonable estimate of mean temperature in Kelvin for Saturn, which is 886.7 million miles away from the sun is:

4.822 degrees Kelvin because  = −0.4536(In 886.7) + 7.9009 = 4.822.
124.2 degrees Kelvin because  and e4.822 = 124.2.
709.0 degrees Kelvin because  and e6.564 = 709.0.
0.05 degrees Kelvin because  and e−3.008 = 0.0494.
