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: -It has a strong greenhouse effect, similar to the one we experience on Earth. Because of this, Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Venus is the hottest planet even though Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Thus the sunlight gets trapped by these gases giving rise to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect increases the temperature of Venus making it the hottest planet in the solar system.
