Well as you know, Venus is the second closes to the sun and so therefore that is what causes the heat on Venus.
Not completely true. Mercury is closer, but Venus is still hotter than it. The reason Venus is so hot is because of its atmosphere. It consists of mostly greenhouse gasses that trap the radiant solar energy and keeps it from escaping the planet. Yes, the sun provides the heat to the planet, but it is the atmoshphere that traps that heat and keeps the planet extremely hot.

What causes Solar energy to be trapped by gases in Venus's atmosphere causes .?
As carbon dioxide built up in Venus' atmosphere, more thermal radiation was trapped. The increasing heat released more CO2 into the atmosphere which trapped even more thermal radiation.
The planet Venus has a very thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide This thick CO2 atmosphere traps heat and causes higher temperatures on Venus This process is known as the effect?
greenhouse
