“For comparison, the hottest planet in our solar system is Venus.”
Wonder why Mercury isn’t the hottest? It’s the closest to our sun....

Mercury do not have much of an atmosphere so it’s heat readily escapes into space. Venus on the other hand has a thick atmosphere that has a lot of CO2 so Venus retains it’s heat (energy).

Venus is a relatively recent addition to our Solar System.
