Fresh Prince is OK.
I will add to his (a) answer that both Venus and Triton suffer from a severe greenhouse effect. Even though the clouds on Venus reflect a lot of sunlight, they also trap whatever solar heat does make it in. The surface of Venus is very, very hot -- hotter than it would be without this greenhouse effect.
Triton is a lot farther from the Sun. It is cold (the surface is covered with ice) but it is not as cold as it should be. The ice acts just as the panes of glass do in a greenhouse: let the sun in, keep the heat from escaping.
The mantle of Triton is actually melted. True, most of the energy came from the tidal friction generated when Triton was captured and its orbit became circular; still, the energy would have dissipated faster if it were not for the greenhouse effect.

a) The only similarity I can think of is that they both reflect a majority of sunlight that shines on them. I think Venus reflects about 60% of sunlight, Triton reflects 60-90%.
Compare this with the moon that reflects only about 10%.
b) Umm, I think the Red Spot is a storm on Jupiter, Red Planet refers to Mars.

Triton is the coldest objectin the solar system......about -235 degress celcius!!!!
Venus is the hottest object... about 480 degrees Celcius!!!!!!!
A red spot and just a spot and the red planet is "MARS".
Hope that helped...

The Moon's ranges are presented about with the help of the attitude from which the image voltaic is shining on the Moon, a sphere. It has genuinely now not something to do with the Earth's shadow, which in straightforward words falls on the Moon a pair of circumstances a year at the same time as there's a lunar eclipse. The seasons are presented about with the help of the tilt of the Earth's axis. The Earth's poles component interior the smae route in section all year round, which skill the northern hemisphere is tilted distant from the image voltaic for 6 months of the year (September to March) and in route of the image voltaic for the numerous six months (March to September).
