The conditions on Venus are the result of its closer orbit to the Sun, and to a "runaway greenhouse effect" that traps solar heat in the lower atmosphere.
Venus is only 2/3 as far from the Sun in its orbit as Earth, about 108 million kilometers. As the planet lost its water, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased, and this absorbs much of the heat re-radiated by the surface. Being so dense, it holds more heat than Earth air.
The average temperature planetwide is 460°C (860°F), twice as hot as an oven, and high enough to melt lead and zinc.

∙ 11y agoNo it cannot because it is so big and it will not get any hotter than it already is unless the Sun goes funny!
Comment: Venus is so hot that it can melt the metals lead and tin.

When do cold temperatures occur on Venus?
They don't. Venus is a hot, hot, hot, hot planet due to its thic cloud cover. A number of common metals will melt on Venus's surface where the temperature is close to 860 degrees, F
What 3 metals would melt on Venus?
The temperature on the surface of Venus is about 461.85 °C this hot enough to melt zinc which melts at 419.53 °C, lead which melts at 327.46 °C and tin which melts at 231.93 °C
Why is life not possible on venus?
Because of the green house effect... Too hot
Why does Venus stay so hot while earth has a more moderate temperature?
venus is a hot lady, thats why.
Why life doesn't exist on Venus?
A life form as we know of could not possibly survive on Venus due to the immense heat. Venus suffers from extreme global warming. It has an atmosphere so thick that heat cannot escape back to space. There is no difference between night and day temperatures. It is always a balmy 460oC, a temperature so hot that lead would melt. That is not to say, that there is NO life on Venus, it's just as we know it, there is no life forms that we know could survive that temperature.
What planet is extremely hot?
Venus, it's so hot it can melt lead.
What makes up the suface of Venus?
Venus surface is so hot it could melt led, Lots of space, has been crust
Is Venus's hot or cold or what?

Which planet 's surface's is hot enough to melt lead?
the hottest planet is not the planet nearest to the sun, which is mercury. it is venus, the second nearest. it is very hot on venus because, unlike mercury, venus has an atmosphere. the atmosphere acts rather like the windows in a greenhouse, and helps to heat the surface of the planet. the temperature there is about 900 degrees, which i shot enough to melt several metals.
What makes up the surface of Venus?
lava
What 3 metals would melt on Venus?
The temperature on the surface of Venus is about 461.85 °C this hot enough to melt zinc which melts at 419.53 °C, lead which melts at 327.46 °C and tin which melts at 231.93 °C
How is Venus's different to other objects?
VENUS IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER OBJECTS BECAUSE VENUS ROTATES IN THE OPPISITE DIRECTION WHILE ITS ORBITING THE SUN.VENUS IS ALSO DIFFERENT BECAUSE ITS CLOUDS ARE FULL OF SULPHURIC ACID AND VENUS IS SO HOT THAT IT CAN MELT LEAD. VENUS IS KNOWN AS EARTHS UGLY SISTER BECAUSE THEY BOTH STARTED OFF THE SAME BUT VENUS'S OCEANS EVAPORATED BECAUSE IT STARTED GETTING SO HOT .
Why is life not possible on venus?
Because of the green house effect... Too hot
Is Venus's habitable?
No. The surface of Venus is hot enough to melt lead. The clouds covering the entire planet are of sulfiric acid. A very nasty place.
What is the average on Venus?
The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit which is the same as 462 degrees Celsius. That temperature is hot enough to melt lead.
Is Venus too cold or too hot for water?
It is too hot.The surface temperature could melt lead.
