\"Hottest<\/p>\n

The Hottest and Coldest Planets of the Solar System is our topic of interest today. As you know, most of the system’s mass is in the Sun. All components of the solar system revolve around the star Sun. Our system, known as the Solar System, is named after Sol, our sun or star. Everything else, including our planet, is bound to the sun by a gravitational force called orbit. The hottest and coldest planets are<\/a><\/strong> also located in this orbit.<\/p>\n

The solar system is made up of all the planets, moons, asteroids, comets and other space debris orbiting the sun. The 8 major planets are classified as giant planets and terrestrial planets. The four minor inner system planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are terrestrial planets composed mainly of rock and metal. The so-called four outer system planets are giant planets that are significantly larger than terrestrial ones.<\/p>\n

The two largest planets are Jupiter and Saturn, gas giants composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; The two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants composed of substances with relatively high melting points, compared to hydrogen and helium, which are known as volatiles such as water, ammonia, and methane. The temperatures on the planets, on the other hand, depend on the sun and other factors. The temperatures of the planets decrease as they move away from the Sun, while those closer to the Sun are usually hotter. The age of our solar system is believed to be 4.568 billion years. How great is that, isn’t it? Here is the complete list of the Hottest and Coldest Planets in the Solar System<\/em> ! Happy reading..<\/p>\n

Average Temperatures on Planets<\/h2>\n

Planetary surface temperatures tend to cool as a planet moves away from the Sun. Venus is an exception to this rule, because its proximity to the Sun and dense atmosphere make it the hottest planet in our solar system. The average temperatures of the planets in our solar system<\/a> are as follows;<\/p>\n

1. Mercury – 800\u00b0F (430\u00b0C) during the day, -290\u00b0F (-180\u00b0C) at night2 Venus – 880\u00b0F (471\u00b0C)
\n3rd Earth – 61\u00b0F (16\u00b0C)
\n4. Mars – minus 20\u00b0F (-28\u00b0C)
\n5. Jupiter – minus 162\u00b0F (-108\u00b0C)
\n6. Saturn – minus 218\u00b0F (-138\u00b0C)
\n7. Uranus – minus 320\u00b0F (-195\u00b0C)
\n8. Neptune – minus 331\u00b0F (-201\u00b0C)
\n9. Pluto – minus 388\u00b0F (-233\u00b0C)<\/p>\n

Hottest Planet<\/h2>\n

\"<\/p>\n

The second planet from the sun and Earth’s closest neighbor, Venus is the brightest object in the night sky after the moon. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, despite being twice as far from the sun as Mercury. Yes true! Despite being the closest planet to the sun, Mercury is not the hottest planet in our solar system. So why is this so? Venus’ atmosphere consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide, a very good greenhouse gas. Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system because it is covered by a thick cloud of carbon dioxide and other gases, which prevents heat from the sun from escaping back into space. It is hypothesized that this is why the planet continues to absorb heat from the sun and is getting hotter and hotter. Venus has an average temperature of 880 degrees Fahrenheit, or 462 degrees Celsius. Venus’ atmosphere is so reflective that the planet absorbs only 2.5% of the sun’s energy (50% for Earth). As very few of them reach the surface, there is little change in temperature throughout the Venusian sphere as it orbits the sun.<\/p>\n
