The surface temperature of Venus reaches about 750 K (476 °C) primarily due to a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, which creates an extreme greenhouse effect. This dense layer of gases traps heat from the Sun, preventing it from escaping back into space. Additionally, Venus's proximity to the Sun contributes to its high temperatures, as it receives more solar energy than Earth. The combination of these factors results in Venus being the hottest planet in our solar system.
