Why is Venus hot? #venus #planets #solarsystem #gravity #science #interestingfacts #mars #jupiter

The planet Venus has a temperature of 465 degrees Celsius. Venus is the second planet from the Sun in the Solar System in terms of distance, but it is the hottest planet in terms of temperature. Although it is the second closest planet to the Sun, the reason it is the hottest planet is that its atmosphere does not allow incoming solar radiation to escape. This is because the atmosphere of Venus contains greenhouse gases. Venus’s atmosphere consists of 96% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with other chemical compounds present only in trace amounts. This atmosphere is filled with clouds rich in carbon monoxide and sulfuric acid. These gases trap heat from the Sun, thereby increasing the temperature of Venus.
