Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It’s the hottest planet in our solar system, even though Mercury is closer to the Sun. Surface temperatures on Venus are about 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) – hot enough to melt lead.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mean Temperatures on Each Planet Planetary surface temperatures tend to get colder the farther a planet is from the Sun. Venus is the exception, as its proximity to the Sun, and its dense atmosphere make it our solar system’s hottest planet.

Detailed explanation-3: -venus is hotter than mercury although it is far from the sun than mercury.

Detailed explanation-4: -Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with a surface temperature of 869 degrees Fahrenheit, or 465 degrees Celsius.

Detailed explanation-5: -The global average nightside surface temperature of Venus is about 698 K with a spatial variation of over 230 K. Due to very thick and reflective atmosphere7, 8, 9, 10, Venus surface absorbs about 2.5% of incident solar flux as compared to about 50% on Earth11.

Detailed explanation-6: -There the temperature varies considerably, reaching a maximum of about 300–310 kelvins (K; 80–98 °F, 27–37 °C) in the daytime and dropping to a minimum of 100–130 K (−280 to −226 °F, −173 to −143 °C) at night.
