As an expert in the field of astronomy, I can tell you that the hottest planet in our solar system is Venus. However, if we're talking about the planet with the highest average surface temperature, that title goes to Venus as well. Venus has an extremely dense atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid. This atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect, trapping heat and leading to surface temperatures that can reach up to **462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit)**, which is even higher than Mercury's, despite being further from the Sun.

Venus is the hottest planet even though Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. The reason that Venus is hotter than Mercury is because it has an atmosphere made of carbon dioxide; it also has clouds of acid inside its atmosphere. This is called greenhouse effect.
