 The Inner Planets Next, in the order of the planets, is Venus. Even though Venus is the second planet from the sun, only about 67.2 million miles away, it is the hottest of them all. Temperatures reach up to 891 degrees Farenheit and the low is a very cold temperature of 837 degrees! Wow, it would be a very hot place to live all 224 days of the year. The atmosphere isn’t as nice as it is here on Earth. For one thing, the pressure pushing down on us would probably squish us because it is 90 times as forcing as we feel here. The natural wind speed every day is about 200 miles per hour. Now we can easily see why we live on Earth. With 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 2% argon in our air, it all makes a pretty nice atmospheric place to live. The highest ever recorded temperature was in Libya, a high of 136 degrees. The low was -129 degrees in Antarctica. Other than that, our temperatures here on Earth makes life very relaxing and calm.
