Highest atmospheric pressure on the surface

Venus is the terrestrial planet with the highest atmospheric pressure on the surface. The atmospheric pressure on Venus' surface is about 92 times greater than the atmospheric pressure on Earth's surface. This is due to the thick atmosphere of Venus, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid. The high atmospheric pressure on Venus contributes to the planet's extremely hot surface temperatures, which can reach up to 462 degrees Celsius.
