No, it is the only one of the 8 major planets that has no ice. It also has no liquid water.

The reason for this is that the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere traps solar heat and efficiently carries it to all areas of the planet. The poles and "night" side of Venus, which would ordinarily be cold, are nearly the same temperature as the "day" side, which is around 460°C (860°F). So neither water or ice can exist in a liquid state on the surface.

The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Because of the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (over half a mile) under the ocean.

No. Venus is far too hot for water or ice to exist.
