    A Mercury Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Venus Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Mars Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Earth Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Despite Mercury being closest to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system with an average surface temperature of about 462°C (864°F). This extreme heat is due to Venus's dense atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide, which creates a powerful greenhouse effect that traps solar radiation. Additionally, Venus has clouds containing sulfuric acid that further contribute to heat retention.
