Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, but it is hotter than Mercury, which is even closer.
The reason is the thick atmosphere of Venus, which is mostly carbon dioxide. This creates a "greenhouse effect", which is like a blanket on the planet, trapping infrared radiation which would normally radiate excess heat back into space. This makes the temperature hellishly hot, as high as 464°C (867°F). and this heat affects the entire planet, even at the poles and even at night.

Which planet has the highest surface temperatures?
Venus has the highest surface temperature of all the planets.
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.
Which planet has the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?
Venus.
Why couldn't men explore venus's surface?
Surface temperatures on Venus are around 850 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure is about 90 times what it is at sea level. A person on Venus would die almost instantly.
Is there mining on Venus If so where is Exxon Mobil?
No. We currently to not have the technology for interplanetary mining. All mining takes place on Earth. Venus is particularly inhospitable due to extremely high pressures and temperatures at the surface, so if we were to start mining offworld, we would probably go to Mars or to asteroids instead of Venus.
What causes the heat on venus' surface?
The greenhouse effect causes the extreme temperatures. The greenhouse gas is mainly carbon dioxide and gaseous sulphuric acid.
Which planet has the highest surface temperatures?
Venus has the highest surface temperature of all the planets.
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.
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the other surface temperatures of the inner planets?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
Could you survive on the surface of Venus in a deep-sea diving suit?
No. While the suit might protect you from the pressure,it could not protect you from the extremely high temperatures.
Is things living on planet Venus?
Probably not; the surface of Venus is extremely hot.
Is there anything as hot as Venus?
Yes. A typical fire will produce temperatures comparable to the surface of Venus.
what planet has an extremely high pressure at its surface?
Venus
Why is Venus surface temperatures so high?
because its closer to the sun
Which planet in our solar system has a greenhouse effect that causes extremely high surface temperatures?
Venus has a very hot greenhouse effect. In fact, it makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system. The thick carbon dioxide atmosphere holds the heat very effectively, like a runaway greenhouse effect. Surface temperatures on Venus average 900° Fahrenheit, 735° Kelvin or 460° Celsius.
What planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?
Venus
Which planet has the dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?
Venus.
