Why is the surface temperature of venus higher than the other planets?

Venus is the hottest planet as it is closer to the sun than most planets (only Mercury is closer), while it also has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere that holds the heat more effectively. Mercury has no atmosphere so does not hold the heat as well, even though it is closer to the sun. Surface temperatures on Venus average 735 Kelvin or 460 °C.

∙ 12y agoThis is because Venus is much closer to the sun than Earth is. Also, Venus is the hottest planet in our universe because of its greenhouse affect. Venus has very reflective clouds but it takes along time for the heat and light to reflect of it....i guess you can say the clouds trap the heat inside it.

∙ 12y agoBecause it has such a thick atmosphere that traps heat inside and warms the planet, kinda like the greenhouse effect we see here on earth.

∙ 9y agoThe surface temperatures on Venus are extremely high. This is due to the fact that the atmosphere is 96.5 percent carbon dioxide, which is trapped under clouds of sulfuric acid.

Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
Explain why the surface temperatulre of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other planets in your solar system?
you should be smart and know this! but i will give it to you any ways.... Venus's atmosphere has 90 times the pressure of the other planets!
Why is the temperature higher on other planets?
IT depends, if a planet is closer to the sun the temperature is high. Take Mercury for example it is very hot due to its location near the sun. However planets farther away are much cooler.

How does the surface temperature of concrete compare to the ambient air temperature around it?
Ambient air and surface temperature do not usually equal each other. The air temperature will usually be higher than the surface temperature because the surface must absorb the temperature around it which happens steadily instead of right away.

Why is the temperature on Venus higher than the temperature on the other planets soloar system?
It's mainly to do with its closeness to the sun, compared with the other planets. Although mercury is closer, Venus is hotter due to it's thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which holds the energy from the sun a lot better than mercury, which has no atmosphere.

How can satellites and space probes help us get a better understanding of the planets in your solar system?
By sending a probe to other planets we get amazing pictures how what they look like close up. Other sensors on the probe can find out about the magnetic field and the surface temperature, and chemicals in the atmosphere, and find out details of the moons and rings of the outer planets.
How is the earth surface different from the other inner planets?
In a word : "water".
