  • Venus: The Hottest, Most Toxic Planet in Our Solar System
    The planet you're thinking of is Venus.

    Here's why:

    * Poisonous Atmosphere: Venus's atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (96.5%) with nitrogen making up most of the rest. This thick CO2 atmosphere creates a runaway greenhouse effect, resulting in surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.

    * Thick and Acidic: The Venusian atmosphere is incredibly dense, about 90 times thicker than Earth's. It also contains thick clouds of sulfuric acid, making the atmosphere highly corrosive and toxic.

    * Landing Challenges: The extreme pressure, heat, and corrosive nature of Venus's atmosphere make landing probes a major engineering challenge. Only a few probes have successfully landed on Venus, and even then, their lifespan is very limited due to the harsh conditions.
