In the beginning of the experiment, both planets would have around the same temperature; however, the thinner atmosphere would eventually be hotter, then subside toward the end of the experiment. Two beakers with differing thicknesses of plastic wrap, with a lamp overhead, represents this scenario. According to a group’s data (their group number to be determined), both beakers with differing atmospheres steadily increase by 1℃ respectively until the fifth minute, where the planet with the thinner atmosphere has a hotter surface temperature. After four more trials, the beaker with the thinner atmosphere would increase until both beakers are around the same temperature again. In another group’s data (their group number also inconclusive), both
