Actually, eight Soviet Venera spacecraft soft-landed on Venus's brutal surface in the 1970's and 1980's. None lasted for more than approximately two hours because temperatures there are high enough to melt lead and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times that on Earth! Four of these spacecraft managed to take pictures (6 altogether) of the stark terrain surrounding their landing sites because windows made out of diamonds protected the camera lenses.

Which planet 's surface's is hot enough to melt lead?

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.

Can the planet venus. burn wood?

No, Venus cannot burn wood because fire requires oxygen, and Venus has a very thick atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide, which would not support combustion. Additionally, Venus is extremely hot on its surface, with temperatures high enough to melt lead, which would make it impossible for wood to burn.
