Mercury and Venus?

Question

Is the planet Mercury hotter than venus? There is a right answer

Answer 1

The sun side of Mercury is hotter than Venus. The rotation of Mercury is very slow, something like 60 Earth days for a Mercury day, and as I recall an 88 Earth day year. I remember this from a science fiction story by Isaac Asimov about robots on Mercury because 60 and 88 are coincidentially linked, 60 MPH = 88 FPS. Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to the rest of the planets. The green house effect heats Venus but to only about 90% of what the temperature is on the sun side of Mercury.

Answer 2

The surface temperature of Mercury is Minus 292 Degrees F
to Plus 802 Degrees F.

The surface temperature of Venus is 867 Degrees F. Its atmosphere is about 50 miles deep and consists of mostly carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid droplets. These clouds trap most of the heat from the Sun making Venus the hotest planet in the Solar System.

So, Venus is quite a bit hotter than Mercury.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. Surface temperatures on Mercury range from about 90 to 700 K (−180 to 430°C, −292 to 806°F), Mercury's nights are freezing, oalso the planet is not active /no volcanos/.Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System. Its cloud cover traps the heat of the sun (the greenhouse effect), giving Venus temperatures up to 480°C. The mean temperature on Venus is 726 K (452°C = 870°F).

Answer 4

well it depends,if your talking about the surface or just the planet as a whole. although venus is further away than mecury it has a large heavy atmosphere with alot of greenhouse gases which trap the suns heat. it is also volcanicly and techtonically active. whereas mercury is not. hope this helps!!!!

Answer 5

Venus is hotter because of the strong green house effect from its very dense carbon dioxide atmosphere.
