the hottest planet is not the planet nearest to the sun, which is Mercury. it is venus, the second nearest. it is very hot on venus because, unlike mercury, venus has an atmosphere. the atmosphere acts rather like the windows in a greenhouse, and helps to heat the surface of the planet. the temperature there is about 900 degrees, which i shot enough to melt several metals.

If lead melts at 620degrees Fahrenheit would a furnace that heats to 200 degrees celsius melt the lead?

No. Because 200 degrees Celsius is 392 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 228 degrees Fahrenheit lower than the 620 degrees Fahrenheit required to melt the lead.


Does different coloured surfaces affect the rate at which ice cubes melt?

This is a really good question and the answer is quite straight-forward:First it's important to note that in absolute dark different colours would have no effect on the rate of melting, the rate is dependent on the wavelengths and intensity of the light the surface is exposed to.If we assume we have two surfaces, one red and one black, and we expose both surfaces to red light of the same intensity. On which surface do you think the ice would melt faster?The red surface will reflect the red light, however the black surface will absorb the red lightcausing the black surface to increase in temperature. So the ice will melt faster on the black surface.


What happens when an ice cube is heated?

It will melt! But you have to add enough energy to equal the latent heat as well as to bring the ice up to the freezing point, if it is in a freezer to start it will be at about -21degC.


What events on a mountain lead to the spring melt?

snow, rainfall, not the snow from ice rinks, hail, ice


Would a wedding ring melt in a wood burning furnace?

More than likely, yes. The diamond itslef would not melt, and with a bit of luck, the setting may congeal around the stone when the stove cools enough for a search.

On what planet will lead melt?

Lead and several other substances would melt on the surfaces of Mercury and Venus. Mercury's mean surface temperature: 167oC (333oF) Venus' mean surface temperature: 464oC (867oF)


Is Venus's habitable?

No. The surface of Venus is hot enough to melt lead. The clouds covering the entire planet are of sulfiric acid. A very nasty place.


What is the 2nd hotest planet?

Venus is the second hottest planet in our solar system, after Mercury. It has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.


What planet is extremely hot?

Venus, it's so hot it can melt lead.


What planet has a very warm surface and tick atmosphere?

The atmosphere of the planet Venus is made mainly of carbon dioxide. This gas acts like the glass of a greenhouse, keeping the surface temperatures high enough to melt lead.


What is the hottest planet besides the sun?

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. Despite not being the closest to the Sun, its thick atmosphere traps heat, leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.


What planet has a hot temperature?

Even though Mercury is closer to the Sun, Venus is hotter, with its atmosphere causing a runaway greenhouse effect. Surface temperatures are around 735K - hot enough to melt lead.


What planet is not closest to the sun the planet is the hottest because of a thick atmosphere of carbon deocide?

Venus is the planet that is not closest to the sun but is the hottest due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which creates a strong greenhouse effect that traps heat. Venus has a surface temperature hot enough to melt lead.


Why Mercury the one of the planets did not melt?

Mercury is the innermost planet, closest to the sun. The surface temperature is high in places, but not nearly high enough to melt the rock that it's made out of.


What planet has a hot turbulent atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide?

Venus has a hot, turbulent atmosphere dominated by carbon dioxide. The thick atmosphere traps heat, creating surface temperatures high enough to melt lead.


Is mercury hot enough to melt lead?

If you mean the chemical element Mercury, then no; mercury and lead are separate elements. At high enough temperatures, they can be melted together, but because mercury is liquid at room temperature they probably wouldn't stay combined.If you mean whether the planet Mercury contains the element lead, then the answer is that it almost certainly does. The core of Mercury is dense and metallic, and lead (like all elements up through uranium) was present at the formation of the solar system.
