The closest outer planet to the sun is jupiter The closest inner planet to the sun is mercury But mercury isnt the hottest planet because venus has the hottest core
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.
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.
It is the hottest planet, and it is very rocky with many craters. It is terrestial and the closest to the sun and also the smallest planet.

The question is not intuitive. See related questions.
Mercury is the hottest planet, because it is the closest planet to the sun.
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but 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 to hold the heat.
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!
