why does venus experience so little temperature changes compared to Mercury? which of these
two planets is hotter and I?
Solution
Venus has a very thick atmosphere predominantly consisting of CO2. Tje pressure on its surface
is 91 times the pressure on Earth's surface. CO2 is a greenhouse gas which allows incoming
radiation but prevents outgoing radiation. The atmosphere retains the sun's heat, which boosts
the temperature, and then evenly distributes it planet-wide, making the poles about as hot as the
equator.
Mercury, while closer, has such a thin atmosphere,which is barely present; Like the moon, in
sunlight, the surface heats up rapidly, but in shadow, it cools down rapidly. The night side of
Mercury is *very* cold, while the daylight side is very hot.
Overall, Venus is hotter than Mercury, but the hottest points of Mercury are hotter than Venus.
