The hottest planet is Venus. Although Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus has a thick atmosphere made up mostly of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which traps the Sun's heat and keeps the planet's surface at a temperature of around 450 degrees Celsius - hot enough to melt lead. Mercury can get almost as hot during the day, but as it has very little atmosphere to trap the heat, its surface freezes at night, making it almost as cold as Jupiter's cloud tops.
Now that the former coldest planet Pluto is no longer considered a true planet, the coldest planet in the Solar System is now Uranus, with a temperature at the cloud tops at -224 Celsius. Although Neptune is further from the Sun, it has a strong internal heat source, keeping its cloud tops - by a few degrees - warmer than those of Uranus.
