25. The temperature on the surface of Venus is estimated to be roughly 471 degrees centigrade. While Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth is, it actually reaches higher average temperatures than Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, which only has an average temperature of 430 degrees Centigrade. It is hypothesized that at one time, Venus was much like Earth, and may have had some form of life, because it had surface temperatures similar to that on Earth. Explain why Venus has such extremely high temperatures, and why it is actually hotter than the surface of Mercury, which is much closer to the sun.
