00:00In the solar system, which planet is the hottest?
00:04Perhaps you thought that Mercury, being the closest planet to the Sun, should have the temperature
00:10higher on its surface. Right?
00:16Mistake.
00:18Because it has no atmosphere and a very, very slow rotation, Mercury's temperature
00:24It oscillates between 430 degrees Celsius in front of the Sun.
00:29But it drops to minus 180 degrees Celsius in the shaded area.
00:37However, Venus, under its crushing atmosphere, registers an average temperature of no less.
00:43that, 460 degrees Celsius, regardless of whether it is day or night.
00:50As you can see, Venus, like the goddess of love, turns out to be the most, uff, hot.
00:58Thank you!
