In our solar system, Venus is the hottest planet due to its runaway atmospheric greenhouse effect.
None in our solar system. Scientists believe that Venus might have has one like ours millions of years ago, before a 'runaway' greenhouse effect occurred.
Yes.(Another contributor writes:)It has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide that is thought to be a runaway greenhouse effect. Its average surface pressure due to the thick atmosphere is 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earth's. It is also the hottest planet, with surface temperatures averaging around 460°C (860°F).Yes it does, so hot that it has boiled its oceans dry.
Just as the earth has naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so also does the planet Venus have naturally-occurring carbon dioxide in its atmosphere. Because the concentration of carbon dioxide is so high in the Venetian atmosphere, it has a more considerable greenhouse effect.
The atmosphere of Venus is primarily carbon dioxide. It traps a LOT of the heat it receives from the sun. In addition, the atmosphere of Venus is denser than ours. This contributes to a runaway greenhouse effect that pretty much maxed out the temperature on Venus. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system.

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.
Earth, Mars and Venus. The greenhouse effect is affecting planet Earth. Additionally, Venus is a perfect example of what can happen if there is too much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses in an atmosphere. Even though it only receives a quarter of the energy from the Sun compared to Mercury, its maximum temperature is greater, making it the hottest planet in the system. The coolest point on the planet has temperatures of 380º C, or 716º F. And again, this is all due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

Mercury has no atmosphere, so that can't be it. Venus has a dense atmosphere, and is entirely enshrouded in clouds. It isn't the clouds on Venus that result in the greenhouse effect so much as the composition of its atmosphere. The air on Venus is mostly carbon dioxide, a heat trapping gas, and this has resulted in a runaway effect making Venus the hottest planet in our solar system.
Venus, the second planet from the sun, is covered in clouds and has a very high surface temperature due to its greenhouse effect.Due to an excess amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), its temperature is 460 degrees Celsius or 850 Fahrenheit or 735 Kelvin. It is the hottest planet.It has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide that is considered a runaway greenhouse effect. Its average surface pressure due to the thick atmosphere is 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earth's. It is also the hottest planet.The greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, the runaway greenhouse effect is causing temperatures high enough to melt lead. Venus lost its oceans due to its greenhouse effect.venus

Venus' atmosphere is 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen. There are heavy clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. The runaway greenhouse effect that results causes the temperature to be 860 F, making Venus the hottest planet in the Solar System.
Venus is the hottest planet. Although it is only the second closest to the sun, its thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere causes it to have a severe runaway greenhouse effect. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it has no atmosphere therefore more of the suns light is reflected back out into space.
