Which planet is closest to the sun why isin't it the hottest planet?

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!

Venus is the second hottest planet in our solar system, despite not being the closest to the sun. Its thick atmosphere traps heat, creating scorching temperatures that make it hotter than even Mercury, the closest planet to the sun.


Which planet in our solar system has the lowest temperature?

That's rather a difficult question. Since we have explored so few planets, we have no way of making a totally accurate statement. It is presumable that the further away from the sun a planet is, the colder. By this logic, it can be said that Sedna is the coldest body in the solar system. However, since we have not explored the Oort Cloud, we cannot make a more informed estimation or measurement.


Why is mercury not the hottest?
