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: -Venus is not the hottest planet in the universe. The hottest known planet is KELT-9b, which has a surface temperature of 7, 800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 4, 300 degrees Celsius, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology. It is 670 light-years from Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Venus is the hottest planet because of the presence of carbon dioxide and clouds. (a) Mars. (b) Sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -Basic astronomical data. Viewed through a telescope, Venus presents a brilliant yellow-white, essentially featureless face to the observer. Its obscured appearance results from the surface of the planet being hidden from sight by a continuous and permanent cover of clouds.
