Question

Which is the hottest planet in the Solar system?
A. Earth
B. Venus
C. Mercury
D. Mars

Answer 1

Hint: The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.

Complete answer:
Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity — the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, dwarf planets such as Pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. Now let’s see which is the hottest planet,

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.
Venus, second planet from the Sun and sixth in the solar system in size and mass. Spinning in the opposite direction to most planets, Venus is the hottest planet, and one of the brightest objects in the sky.
Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System. Its orbit around the Sun takes 87.97 Earth days, the shortest of all the planets in the Solar System.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, being larger than only Mercury.

Therefore the correct answer is B. Venus.

Note: Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth. As a result, temperatures on Venus reach 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471 degrees Celsius), which is more than hot enough to melt lead.
