Jakarta –
The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury. However, you knew that planet the hottest in the solar system is not Mercury?
The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. The second closest planet to the Sun has an average surface temperature of about 450°C.
Mercury isn’t the hottest because it has an atmosphere to regulate temperature, so Mercury isn’t as hot as Venus.
In terms of size, the planet Venus is almost the same size as Earth, with Venus’ diameter being 12,102 km and Earth’s diameter being 12,742 km.
The distance between Venus and the Sun is 108 million km. To rotate, Venus takes 243 days and takes 225 days to evolve around the Sun.
Because Venus Could it be the hottest planet?
Quoting the IFL Science page, Venus may be hotter than Mercury due to its cloud cover. Venus’s atmosphere is about 100 times thicker than Earth’s.
The atmosphere of Venus is 96% carbon dioxide; 3.4% nitrogen; 0.1 – 0.5 percent water vapor and the rest is other gases.
The reason it’s so hot is because of the sun. This region of Venus’ atmosphere receives a large amount of radiation, so heat transfer is not very efficient.
To describe the heat on Venus, if we stand on its surface, it can burn, melt and disintegrate all at once.
Which planet is hotter than Venus?
If you want to find a hotter planet than Venus, you have to look far beyond the solar system, 670 light-years away to be exact.
In November 2022, scientists recorded the hottest planet ever known. The exoplanet is KELT-9b.
KELT-9b orbits very close to a star that is nearly twice as hot as our Sun.
Medium temperature planet reaches 3,800°C (over 6,800°F). That temperature is hot enough to melt tungsten, the material used in light bulb filaments.
