Because there are greenhouse gases which make it extremely hot.
no venus is the hottest planet .no
no it is venus thatis the hottest
Venus is hottest. Next is Mercury.
they are closest to the sun
No. Mercury is closer than Venus but Venus is hotter. Otherwise, the assertion is true.
Yes.Earth is 3rd hottest,Mercury is 2nd hottest, and Venus is the hottest.
"Uranus -224c,Neptune -218c,Saturn -175c,Jupiter -145c,Earth 7.2,Mars 30c,Venus 460c,Mercury 465c." This is actually incorrect. Mercury is not hotter than Venus. Yes Mercury is closer to the sun than Venus. However, Venus has a thicker atmosphere than Mercury.
In our solar system, the hottest planet is Venus. Even though the planet is second-closest to the sun, Venus' atmosphere holds in a lot of the heat, making it hotter than Mercury.
Surface temperatures place Venus above Mercury.
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!
I would expect Mercury to be the hottest planet, since it's the closest one to the sun. That's why it's so surprising to learn that Venus is hotter than Mercury.
No. For example Venus is the second closest planet but is the hottest. This is because it has a thick atmosphere and therefore it holds the heat in more than mercury (the closest planet) does.
