Less than a quarter of the sunlight falling on venus reaches the surface. Light that gets through the clouds warms the ground which, in turn, releases the heat in the form of infrared radiation. Like glass trapping heat in a green house, the atmosphere traps the infrared radiation, so the temperature on Venus builds up and is always very hot
