Which planet is the hottest?

  • The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus.
  • Even though Mercury is closest to the Sun, Venus is hotter than Mercury.
  • This is because Venus has thick clouds that trap heat very well.
  • Its surface temperature can reach about 900 degrees Fahrenheit!

Examples:

  • Imagine baking cookies in an oven; Venus acts like an oven that keeps all the heat inside.
  • If you could stand on Venus, it would feel like being in a sauna but much hotter.
  • The thick clouds on Venus make it hard for heat to escape, just like a blanket keeps you warm!

Fun Fact: Venus is so hot that if you had a metal toy on Venus, it could melt!
