The correct answer is that Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system because its atmosphere is rich in carbon dioxide gas. This greenhouse gas traps a significant amount of heat from the sun, causing the temperature on Venus to reach extremely high levels. Its proximity to the sun is not the primary reason for its high temperature.
