Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The planet with a strong greenhouse effect and a surface temperature of 480°C is Venus. Venus has a thick atmosphere made up mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and creates a runaway greenhouse effect. This makes Venus the hottest planet in the solar system, even hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the sun. Earth also has a greenhouse effect, but not to the same extreme as Venus.
