Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Venus has the highest average surface temperature of around 460°C due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds which trap heat, causing a greenhouse effect. Mercury, on the other hand, has a highly variable surface temperature due to its lack of atmosphere, ranging from -173°C to 427°C depending on whether it is facing towards or away from the sun. Earth's average surface temperature is much cooler at around 15°C, while Neptune's average temperature is much colder at around -214°C.
