   Why don't you answer my two questions from my other post:   
      
   1)  Why does the nighttime temperature on the planet Mercury, which is   
   closest to the Sun, fall to -180°C during its 88 Earth days of nighttime?   
      
   2)  Why does the nighttime temperature on the planet Venus, which is the   
   second closest to the Sun, fall to 460°C during its 58 Earth days of   
   nighttime?   
      
   P.S.  Water is a much more powerful greenhouse gas, but it is somewhat   
   transient.  Venus has 0.002-0.003% percent of its atmosphere as being   
   water vapor as compared to 0.4% for our World.
