the heat
Venus is hotter than Mercury, with an average surface temperature of about 467°C compared to Mercury's average surface temperature of about 167°C. This is due to Venus' thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which creates a greenhouse effect that traps heat and raises temperatures to extreme levels.
Mercury is less hotter than Venus because it has a thin atmosphere and the heat that is attracted during day time goes away at night and the temperature becomes -170 degrees while Venus has a thick atmosphere and does not allow heat to pass.
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.
No, Mercury is smaller than Venus in terms of size. Mercury has a diameter of about 4,880 kilometers while Venus has a diameter of about 12,104 kilometers.

It's mainly to do with its closeness to the sun, compared with the other planets. Although mercury is closer, Venus is hotter due to it's thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which holds the energy from the sun a lot better than mercury, which has no atmosphere.
Venus is hotter than Mercury because of its thick atmosphere made up of carbon dioxide that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a much higher surface temperature compared to Mercury, despite being further from the sun.
Venus is hottest. Next is Mercury.
The planets in our solar system that do not have any moons are Mercury and Venus.
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus is the hottestas the thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere.
Yes, The surface temperature of Mercury ranges between 100 K and 700 K. while that on Venus (caused by the greenhouse effect of it atmosphere) is at least 735 K.
Venus. It's much hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the sun than Venus. The hotter temperature on Venus is due to the "greenhouse gas" effect. All the clouds on Venus keep the temperature from escaping into space, so Venus gets heat from the sun, and very little escapes back into space. Mercury has no atmosphere, so there is no "greenhouse gas effect" on Mercury.
