Why is Venus the hottest solar system planet?
1 answer
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system because of its thick atmosphere made up of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, which creates a strong greenhouse effect. This means that the heat from the sun gets trapped in Venus' atmosphere, causing temperatures to reach up to 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius). Additionally, Venus has no internal heat source like Earth does, making it even hotter.
