The “Goldilocks” Principle 8 Mars is too cold, Venus is too hot, but the Earth is just right!

What if Earth did not have greenhouse gases (GHG)? Main Greenhouse Gases CO 2 and H 2 O Temperature without GHG -5 °C (23 °F) Actual Average Temperature 15 °C (59 °F) Temperature change because of greenhouse gases 20 °C (36 °F) 9
