Planet Temperatures

What are the ranges of temperatures for planets? the coldest i have is -50 to -10, and the hottest i have is 75 to 115, but the range is very dramatic within the 4-9 slots of a given system. Are there colder or hotter planets? I would presume the distance from the No. 1 slot would increasingly get colder, but i havent found anything written down on the planet temp anywhere. Any actual knowledge of this would be helpful:)

this should go under help and pretend that the sun is in slot 0, planets closer to 0 will be hotter than in slot 15

I actually wasnt looking for a smart alec assumption. I was actually looking for where i could actually find the actual answer. If the posting was actually read..the assumption was already considered. I was looking for actual information like..planets 1-3 can range from x to y temps, or planets 13-15 can range from x-y. Probably shoulda put it in help. So lock this thread or remove it and ill move my ? As long as you can ANSWER my question and not summize an opinion i would appreciate the feedback.

My coldest is From -86°C to -46°C.
Hottest is From 81°C to 121°C.

Generally the planet nearest the sun is hotter but they overlap.
Ex:
1 = 60 to 140
2 = 40 to 120
3 = 20 to 80
4 = 0 to 60
5 = -20 to 40
The figures are far from accurate but I'm guessing something like that.

Do they affect Sat energy?

If you are asking if the temp of a planet effects how much energy a solar satellite gives off ... the answer is yes. The hotter the planet the more energy your satellites will produce. If you wish to figure out what energy a solar satellite will produce on a certain planet (temperature) just use the formula posted at this link. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1237
