Earth's internal heat comes from a combination of residual heat from planetary accretion (about 20%) and heat produced through radioactive decay (80%).[62] The major heat-producing isotopes in the Earth are potassium-40, uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232.[63] At the center of the planet, the temperature may be up to 7,000 K and the pressure could reach 360 GPa.[64] Because much of the heat is provided by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Earth history, before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Earth's heat production would have been much higher. This extra heat production, twice present-day at approximately 3 billion years ago,[62] would have increased temperature gradients within the Earth, increasing the rates of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and allowing the production of igneous rocks such as komatiites that are not formed today.[65]
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
The crust is the cool part of the Earth. It is the surface we live on. It should be at a comfortable temperature until it reaches down to the mantle, the next layer. That area will be hotter. Then at the center, is the core. That is the hot part of the Earth's interior. It is about 3500° C. Estimates vary from 2000 to 7000, but it is HOT!
Jupiter's surface is hotter than absolute zero, 0 Kelvin.
A combination of things. First, Venus is much closer to the sun than earth, so its surface receives more radiant energy from the sun. Add to that the fact that Venus is surrounded by a thick layer of carbon dioxide clouds, which create a runaway greenhouse effect. Bottom line: Venus's surface is about 800 degrees hotter than earth's surface.
very much hotter.
no the surface of the sun is much is hotter.
A white dwarf is what remains of a star's interior, which is much hotter than the surface because it is closer to the source of fusion.
The Sun is much much hotter than the Earth. The Sun's surface temperature is approximately 5,800 K. The surface temperature of the Earth, by contrast, rarely exceeds 331ºK

Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
All eight planets have a surface temperature, though it varies as the planets distance from the sun varies. Closer planets to the sun generally have a higher surface temperature, while further planets have a colder surface temperature.
No, Venus is hotter than Earth. Venus has a much thicker atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, which creates a strong greenhouse effect and traps heat, leading to surface temperatures that are hotter than those on Earth.
"Hot" is a relative term, but it's definitely hotter than the surface.
