Detailed explanation-1: -Similar in structure and size to Earth, Venus’s thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Venus is sometimes called Earth’s twin because Venus and Earth are almost the same size, have about the same mass (they weigh about the same), and have a very similar composition (are made of the same material). They are also neighboring planets.
Detailed explanation-4: -The atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, and thick clouds of sulfuric acid completely cover the planet.
Detailed explanation-5: -It has a crushing carbon dioxide atmosphere 90 times as thick as Earth’s. There is almost no water vapor.
Detailed explanation-6: -Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with a surface temperature of 869 degrees Fahrenheit, or 465 degrees Celsius.
