Which of the planets is the hottest and why?

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. It's the second closest to the sun, and its atmosphere traps heat better than Mercury's. The average temperature on the surface of Venus is 867°F (464°C), which is hot enough to melt lead!


Which is the hottest and coldest planet?

The hottest planet is Venus. Although Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus has a thick atmosphere made up mostly of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which traps the Sun's heat and keeps the planet's surface at a temperature of around 450 degrees Celsius - hot enough to melt lead. Mercury can get almost as hot during the day, but as it has very little atmosphere to trap the heat, its surface freezes at night, making it almost as cold as Jupiter's cloud tops. Now that the former coldest planet Pluto is no longer considered a true planet, the coldest planet in the Solar System is now Uranus, with a temperature at the cloud tops at -224 Celsius. Although Neptune is further from the Sun, it has a strong internal heat source, keeping its cloud tops - by a few degrees - warmer than those of Uranus.

The axial tilt of Venus is 177.36 degrees.


What is the Sister Planet Theory?

Venus: the second planet from the Sun and the one most similar to the Earth in terms of size, and arguably, in features. This has lead Venus to be dubbed Earth's "sister planet". As new light has been shed on Venus, it appears that our sister planet may not be as much like us as previously thought and that we may have been separated at birth. Something like this...

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.
