Venus is the hottest planet?

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system due to a runaway greenhouse effect. Its thick atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere, reaching the planet's surface and heating it. Unlike Earth, Venus lacks an effective mechanism to release this accumulated heat. The thick atmosphere traps and retains the energy, causing a continual rise in temperature. The greenhouse effect on Venus is so extreme that surface temperatures can soar above 860 degrees Fahrenheit (460 degrees Celsius), surpassing even Mercury, which is closer to the Sun. Venus serves as a cautionary example of the potential consequences of unchecked greenhouse gas accumulation.
