The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
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.
The coldest temperature ever recorded on Venus is around -175 degrees Celsius (-283 degrees Fahrenheit) in its upper atmosphere layers. Venus has a very dense atmosphere that traps heat, leading to high surface temperatures despite the cold temperatures at higher altitudes.
Venus has a surface temperature of about 462 degrees Celsius. The thick atmosphere of Venus traps heat, leading to extremely high temperatures on the planet's surface.
Venus has the highest surface temperatures in the solar system, with temperatures reaching up to 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471 degrees Celsius) due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds that trap heat.
Venus has the highest average surface temperature among the inner planets. Its thick atmosphere traps heat, leading to extreme temperatures of around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit) on its surface.

Thick atmosphere on Venus none on Mercury
All eight planets have a surface temperature, though it varies as the planets distance from the sun varies. Closer planets to the sun generally have a higher surface temperature, while further planets have a colder surface temperature.
Venus has the highest average surface temperature among the inner planets. Its thick atmosphere traps heat, leading to extreme temperatures of around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit) on its surface.
The highest temperature on Venus is around 900 degrees Fahrenheit (about 475 degrees Celsius). Venus has a thick atmosphere that traps heat from the sun, leading to extremely high surface temperatures.
Venus has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures, with an average surface temperature of about 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme greenhouse effect is due to the trapping of heat by the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Much higher. The carbon dioxide is a green house gas and traps the sunlight hitting the surface of Venus. The measurements, though I forget the exact numbers, are many times the average earth temperature.
Venus has the highest average surface temperature due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a greenhouse effect. Neptune has the lowest average surface temperature, being the farthest planet from the Sun and having a frigid atmosphere.
