Question

Which among the following is the hottest planet in our solar system?

• A. Mercury
• B. Venus
• C. Mars
• D. Jupiter

Answer 1

The correct option is B Venus

$\bullet$ Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system.
$\bullet$ Venus has a thick atmosphere, hence traps all the heat from the Sun.
$\bullet$ Mercury does not have an atmosphere to hold the heat. So, even though it is closest to the Sun, it is not the hottest planet.
