Which planet is the hottest in the solar system?

Be honest, when was the last time you recited the order of the planets from the Sun by memory — AND got it right? For me, roughly second grade.

So among the remaining eight "real" planets, one of them runs a bit warm, even out there in the generally cold expanse of outer space.

Which planet in our solar system runs the highest temps?
