Venus is not the farthest planet from the Sun. It is the second closest planet.
Venus is the hottest planet in terms of surface temperature because its carbon dioxide atmosphere traps in all the heat it receives from the sun, sort of like a massive greenhouse. This is what will happen to the Earth if we don't reduce carbon emissions. Mercury receives the most solar radiation from the sun, but the same side of Mercury always faces the sun, so its dark side is very cold.
By contrast, Venus, the hottest planet, has a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere that traps all heat so that it cannot escape, like a greenhouse with no exhaust valve.
What else can I help you with?
Which planet is closest to the sun why isin't it the hottest planet?
Mercury is the closest planet toward the sun. Although it should be the hottest planet, it is not. Venus, the planet right next to Mercury, is the hottest planet. Mercury can get up to 800 to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, but Venus can get up to 900 to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 100 degrees hotter than Mercury's surface. FUN FACT! Venus is the hottest planet because it is filled with volcanoes erupting every second. Another reason why Venus is the hottest planet is because of it's rain. Venus actually rains boiling hot acid!
What is the hottest planet besides the sun?
Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Despite not being the closest to the Sun, its thick atmosphere traps heat, leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
VENUS IS KNOWN FOR WHAT?
The planet Venus is known for: • its enormous size • being the evening star - you can see it just before sunrise and just after sunset • its thick atmosphere • being the hottest planet • having toxic yellow clouds • named after the Roman goddess Venus • being right next to Earth
Name the biggest the smallest the hottest and the coldest planets?
The biggest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, the smallest planet is Mercury, the hottest planet is Venus due to its thick atmosphere trapping heat, and the coldest planet is Neptune, located farthest from the Sun.
What is the hottest a planet can get?
Venus. It is the second planet from the Sun. Venus is completely covered in dense clouds. These act like a giant greenhouse, raising temperatures to 462°C. Several probes have landed on Venus but none has survived. :) Venus is in fact the hottest planet in our solar system, but it can really get much hotter. Scientists have found exoplanets that exceed the temperatures of venus. There are really a lot of factors. Main ones being how close the planet is to its star and how hot the star itself is.
Which planet has the hottest surface temperature and is about as big as the earth?
Venus. It is sometimes called Earths twin planet due to it being a similar size and composition. It is also the planet that comes closest to ours. Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus gets hotter as the thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere.
What is the third hottest planet in the solar system?
The third hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. Despite not being the closest planet to the Sun, its thick atmosphere traps heat, causing it to have a surface temperature that is hotter than Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun.
What are the planets hottest to coldest?
The hottest planet is Venus. Then Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, then if it was still a planet, Pluto. (Uranus has been proven to be colder than Neptune, despite Neptune being further from the sun).
Who is the second hottest planet to the sun?
Venus is the second hottest planet in our solar system, despite not being the closest to the sun. Its thick atmosphere traps heat, creating scorching temperatures that make it hotter than even Mercury, the closest planet to the sun.
Which planet has the highest average surface temperature and which has the lowest?
Venus has the highest average surface temperature due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. Neptune has the lowest average surface temperature, being the farthest planet from the Sun and having a frigid atmosphere.
What planet has a cloudy atmosphere?
Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What is the fourth hottest planet in the solar system?
Venus is the fourth hottest planet in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere traps heat from the Sun, creating a runaway greenhouse effect that makes it hotter than Mercury, despite being farther away.
