Scientists have discovered a new planet. The planet is in a solar system whose star is similar in size to the sun and is about as far from the star as Venus is from the sun. The planet is similar in size to Earth, and its atmosphere is similar in thickness to Earth’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide and methane

In three to five sentences, make a hypothesis about the temperature on the planet’s surface. Explain your answer using information about the planet’s location and atmosphere

I think the temperature on this new planet will be really hot. Since it's about the same distance from its star as Venus is from the Sun, it might have a lot of heat from that star. Also, since the atmosphere is mostly made of carbon dioxide and methane, it could trap heat like a blanket, making the surface even warmer, kind of like how Venus has super high temperatures. So, I guess the planet would be a very hot place to be!
