The planet closest to the Sun is Mercury. ___________, many people think this is the hottest planet. However, the hottest planet is Venus, the second closest to the Sun.
The reason is that Venus has a very dense atmosphere, which traps heat and makes the planet's average temperature 450 degrees.
This is a greenhouse effect similar to that seen on Earth, although much more intense, due to carbon dioxide in Venus' atmosphere, which is found in large quantities.
