Yes, The surface temperature of Mercury ranges between 100 K and 700 K. while that on Venus (caused by the greenhouse effect of it atmosphere) is at least 735 K.

Which planets are hotter than the Earth?

All eight planets have a surface temperature, though it varies as the planets distance from the sun varies. Closer planets to the sun generally have a higher surface temperature, while further planets have a colder surface temperature.


Which planet has the hottest surface temperature?

Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus is the hottestas the thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere.


On what planet will lead melt?

Lead and several other substances would melt on the surfaces of Mercury and Venus. Mercury's mean surface temperature: 167oC (333oF) Venus' mean surface temperature: 464oC (867oF)


Which planet is the coldest Mercury Venus Earth Mars or Jupiter?

Jupiter (in as far as we can measure into the atmosphere (it may be hotter near the core)The mean surface temperature of Mars is 227 KThe mean surface temperature of Jupiter is 165 K


What is the 2nd hottest planet in the solar system?

No. Venus is the hottest planet, even though Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Mercury receives the most solar radiation from the Sun, and its rotation is very slow, so the surface can heat up to over 430 degrees C. But when that part of the surface faces away from the Sun, the temperature drops to minus 200 degrees C. There is no atmosphere to distribute the heat. By contrast, Venus, the hottest planet, has a dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds. This is the reason that Venus can get hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere traps solar heat and keeps the entire planet very hot all of the time. It is like a greenhouse with no exhaust valve and no door to let the heat out. The surface temperature of Venus is about 460 degrees C even at night.

no


Explain why the surface of Venus hotter than the surface of Murcury?

Mercury doesn't have a atmosphere, so one side is always cold and the other is extremely hot. Venus is hotter because it has an atmosphere, and it traps in the heat from the sun, also the gases on Venus acts like a greenhouse effect making it hotter.


Is Venus hotter than our hottest desert?

Yes, far hotter. The surface temperature of Venus is comparable to that of an oven on its clean cycle.

How does the inner planets distance from the sun relate to the average surface temperature of the planet?

You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.


How much hotter does it get on Venus than mercury?

Venus is hotter than Mercury because its atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, which traps the heat. The average temperature of Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 300 degrees hotter than Mercury.


Which is hotter mars or mercury?

Of course. The temperature of Mars during daytime is usually many degrees below zero, which is very cold, but daytime temperature on Mercury is about 750 F (400 C), a stunning hot temperature that is hundreds of degrees hotter than the warmest temperature on Mars.
