This dense atmosphere produces a run-away greenhouse effect that raises Venus' surface temperature by about 400 degrees to over 740 K (hot enough to melt lead). Venus' surface is actually hotter than Mercury's despite being nearly twice as far from the Sun.

Water and water vapor are extremely rare on Venus due to its high surface temperature that can approach 758 K (900 °F). This extreme temperature is caused by the greenhouse effect.

On Venus, the average temperature is 460 °C. That's also the maximum and the minimum. In other words, no matter where you go on Venus, the temperature is the same – night or day. The temperature at the poles is the same as at the equator.

Venus and the Runaway Greenhouse Effect ... Right now as I write this, the planet Venus shines brightly in the evening sky, getting higher with each passing day. It shines so brightly, third only to the Sun and the Moon, that it is no wonder the ancients named it after their goddess of beauty (or was it the other way around?
