Mercury is the closest planet to the sun but it is not the hottest. Venus is the hottest though farther away. Mercury is 425 degrees, Venus is 462 degrees. The reason Venus is that hot is that its carbon dioxide (CO2) is found in its atmosphere. On earth, most of our CO2 is found deep underground, locked up in fossils. But we have decided to dig them up as oil, coal and gas and put them into our atmosphere. We dump 30 billion tons each year of carbon pollution into the atmostphere. Our planet is warming. Earth is getting hotter. #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange
