Venus

The hottest planet is not the closest planet to the sun but it is the second planet. Venus is hot because of it's volcanoes. It has a lot of it. And they erupt every now and then. Venus is the hottest because it has a heavy atmosphere.  If the heat from the sun goes in Venus, that heat can no longer get out. In other words the heat is trapped inside Venus. Venus rotates very slowly. The funny thing about Venus is that it rotates on the other side. The sun sets on the west, if you are on Venus the sun would set on the east. I think the most interesting about Venus is it's volcanoes. But I don't think I need to tell you that because I already told you. Since Venus is the hottest planet you can't stand on Venus because it is just too hot. If you try to stand on it your foot will burn. Ouch! That would hurt. Venus is right next to earth. Some say that Venus is a twin of earth. Remember only one spacecraft had visited Mercury? Well 22 spacecrafts have visited Venus already. But don't worry all of them are unmanned.
