Answer to Question 1

In the absence of greenhouse gases, the factors determining the planet's temperature are its distance from the Sun, which determines how much sunlight it receives per square meter; its albedo, how much sunlight that is reflected instead of absorbed by the surface; and how fast it rotates, which determines how the temperature differs between day and night.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
