In a nutshell, global warming gone mad. Although Mercury is closest to the sun it doesn't have an atmosphere to keep in the heat and has a temperature variation of -170 to +420 degrees. Venus on the other hand has a very dense atmosphere consisting mostly of carbon dioxide, which has trapped the heat in. This has raised the temperature on the surface of Venus to over +460 degrees.

Which planet in our solar system has the lowest temperature?
That's rather a difficult question. Since we have explored so few planets, we have no way of making a totally accurate statement. It is presumable that the further away from the sun a planet is, the colder. By this logic, it can be said that Sedna is the coldest body in the solar system. However, since we have not explored the Oort Cloud, we cannot make a more informed estimation or measurement.
Why is mercury not the coldest planet?
Mercury is not the coldest planet because it has more solar radiation than all of the other planets. This is because it is closer to the Sun. However, Mercury is not the hottest planet in the Solar System. See related question.

Why is mercury the hottest during the day and Pluto the coldest planet in the solar system?
Actually Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system because of it's thick atmosphere that taps the heat below the atmosphere. Pluto is the coldest planet because it is the farthest away from the sun.
What is the biggest planet and the smallest planet with the hottest temperature a list?

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.
