Many assume Mercury is the hottest planet since it’s closest to the Sun. However, Venus surpasses Mercury in temperature, maintaining scorching heat due to its thick, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere, which traps heat effectively. This phenomenon, known as the runaway greenhouse effect, keeps Venus’s surface at a consistent 465°C (869°F), making it the hottest planet in our solar system.
Mars is known as the Red Planet, but have you ever wondered why? In this in-depth guide, we explore how iron-rich dust, ancient volcanoes, and a super-thin atmosphere gave Mars its famous rusty colour. From myths to modern science, learn everything you need to know about the red planet Mars.
