Is the surface of Venus red hot? I was wondering, is the surface of Venus so hot that it would glow red in the dark (e.g. on the dark side of Venus)?  I am working on making a solar system simulator, and that would make for a great level if it is accurate.
The average surface temperature on Venus is 462 °C. You would need a temperature above 800 °C before you would notice any light.

Here are some calculated radiation outputs of the surface temperature of Venus, a 1000 °C black body and the sun.
