Detailed explanation-1: -Venus’ thick atmosphere traps heat creating a runaway greenhouse effect – making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The greenhouse effect makes Venus roughly 700°F (390°C) hotter than it would be without a greenhouse effect.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hottest planet in the solar system is Venus with an average temperature of 464 degree Celsius and the coldest planet in the solar system is Pluto with an average temperature of -225 degree Celsius.

Detailed explanation-3: -Q. Venus is the hottest planet because of the presence of carbon dioxide and clouds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Venus is the exception, as its proximity to the Sun, and its dense atmosphere make it our solar system’s hottest planet. The mean temperatures of planets in our solar system are: Mercury - 333°F (167°C) Venus - 867°F (464°C)

Detailed explanation-5: -Hint: Venus is hotter than Mercury because it has a much thicker atmosphere. Mercury is closer to the Sun but it has a very thin atmosphere and all the heat trapped goes out in space, while Venus with its much thicker atmosphere holds all the heat it gets.
