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 hottest planet to the least hottest?

The hottest (surface temperature) is Venus then, getting colder: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. (In fact Neptune and Uranus are very similar in temperature.)


What is the 3rd hottest planet?

The 3rd hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. Its thick atmosphere traps heat from the Sun, creating a runaway greenhouse effect that makes it the hottest planet with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.


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.


Which planet's temperature is the closest to Earth's?

Venus has a surface temperature that is closest to Earth's among the planets in our solar system. Despite being relatively close in temperature, the extreme greenhouse effect on Venus makes it the hottest planet with an average surface temperature of about 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit), compared to Earth's average of about 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).


Is Venus the hottest planet in the solar system?

Venus has the highest surface temperature of the 4 terrestrial planets. The gas giants have hotter interiors, but they do not have the same differentiation of surface/atmosphere that the smaller planets do. Venus has the hottest Earth-like location that human technology can currently access, and is especially interesting because of the planet's similarities to Earth in composition and size.
