Which is the Hottest Planet in the Solar System?
A) Mercury
B) Neptune
C) Jupiter
D) Venus
ANSWER: VENUS
The planets of the Solar System are classified into two groups based on their composition:
Terrestrial planets (formed rock fragments) and Giant planets (made up of gas) (gas giants and ice giants).
Planets in the Solar System have different temperatures depending on their structure and distance from the Sun.
Furthermore, the nature and content of the planets’ atmospheres are governed by the points—how much heat is emitted by the planets and how much heat the planets retain.
The hottest planet is Venus. The average temperature is 471 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is the hottest planet in the Solar System, despite being the second closest to the Sun. It is one of the Solar System’s four terrestrial planets.
It has a dense atmosphere made up of 96.5 percent carbon dioxide and 3.5 percent nitrogen, which traps heat in the atmosphere in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet on the globe.
Because of its size and structure, Venus is sometimes referred to as Earth’s twin, yet the two planets are considerably different in other aspects. Venus is unique in that it rotates in the reverse way of Earth, in addition to being incredibly hot. It also rotates slowly, thus its day is lengthier than its year.
