Which planet is the closest to the Sun. Why isn't it the hottest planet?
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. Mercury is not the hottest planet because it has no atmosphere to hold onto that heat, so it quickly radiates that heat back into space. As a result the side of Mercury facing the sun is quite hot while the side facing away is cold. Venus, the second planet from the sun, is the hottest as its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere is very good at retaining heat.
