Which of the following is the hottest planet in the solar system ?
Answer: B
The hottest planet is Venus.
Venus has a surface temperature of about 465°C, hot enough to melt lead. Its dense atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, so the temperature stays high across the planet, day and night.
The trap is Mercury, which is closer to the Sun but has almost no atmosphere: its day side reaches about 430°C, but the heat escapes and its night side falls far below freezing. Mars and Jupiter are much colder.
