What is NOT so great about Rice University? Unlike some other specific college threads where there are questions from people trying to decide whether or not they want to go there, here it is (obviously?) a foredrawn conclusion that Rice is the be-all, end-all.
Atmosphere: The surface temperature of Venus is around 890 degrees F, the hottest average temperature in the Solar System. This is due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane).Since CO2 is a major greenhouse gas, the radiation from the Sun is trapped in the atmosphere of Venus producing an extremely high surface temperature.he atmosphere of Venus is composed of 97% CO2, 2% N2 and less than 1% of O2, H2O and CH4 (methane).

Similarly, Mars has a high temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit at its equator and a low temperature of -190 degrees at its poles. The Earth's average surface temperature is 45 degrees, while Venus has an average surface temperature of 850 degrees. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the inner planets.
