Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Venus has the strongest greenhouse effect of any planet in our solar system. This is because its thick atmosphere is mostly made up of carbon dioxide and the surface temperature can reach up to 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit). The carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, creating a runaway greenhouse effect that keeps the planet extremely hot. Earth's greenhouse effect is also strong, but not as extreme as Venus'. Mars has a weaker greenhouse effect due to its thin atmosphere, and Pluto's atmosphere is too thin to create a greenhouse effect at all.
