Detailed explanation-1: -Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide and it’s perpetually shrouded in thick, yellowish clouds of sulfuric acid that trap heat, causing a runaway greenhouse effect. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun.
Detailed explanation-2: -Venus is the hottest planet because of the presence of carbon dioxide and clouds. (a) Mars. (b) Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -It appears that the surface temperature ranges from about 820 degrees to nearly 900 degrees F. The average surface temperature is 847 degrees F., hot enough to melt lead. No wonder the ocean basins are “dry". At these temperatures any water would evaporate nearly instantaneously.
Detailed explanation-4: -The greenhouse effect on Venus causes the temperatures at its surface to reach 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius), making Venus the hottest planet in the entire Solar System!
