    Surface temperature

    Explanation:

    Consider the proximity of Venus to the sun. The surface temperature of Venus is estimated to be 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius) compared to Earth's 57.2 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celcius).

    At this temperature, water would literally boil away, turning into steam. This is a temperature hot enough to melt Lead.

    If Earth is Heaven, Venus is Hell.
