What is the general relationship between the surface temperature of a planet and its distance from the Sun?
As a planet's distance from the Sun increases, surface temperature increases.
As a planet's distance from the Sun increases, surface temperature decreases.
As a planet's distance from the Sun decreases, surface temperature decreases.

This shows the orbit of an X, because Y
X = satellite/moon, Y = close to circular and orbiting a planet.
X = planet, Y = close to circular and orbiting a star.
X = comet, Y = very elliptical and orbiting a star.
