The order of the planets according to hottest to the coldest:

1.Venus -471 deg C

2. Mercury-430 deg C

3. Earth-16 deg C

4. Mars- -28 deg C

5. Jupiter- -108 deg C

6. Saturn- -138 deg C

7. Uranus- -195 deg C

8. Neptune- -201 deg C

The temperature of each planet is affected by its distance from the sun. The farther the planet from the sun, the colder the temperature of such planet.
