Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus gets hotter as the thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere. Venus is the second closest planet to our sun.

Venus has a very strong greenhouse effect. A greenhouse effect is when the gases in the atmosphere trap more of the Sun's heat. A lot of carbon dioxide, a very dense atmosphere, and a thick blanket of clouds help trap the sun's heat. The transfer of heat by atmospheric currents means both the night and day sides are almost the same temperature.

Venus is like this because it is closer to the Sun than Earth so it is naturally hotter. On Earth, it is cool enough for water to condense and form oceans, where carbon dioxide can be absorbed. On Venus, water cannot condense in order to absorb the carbon dioxide so all of it stays in the atmosphere.

The dense atmosphere of Venus is 93 times that of Earth's atmosphere. This carbon dioxide atmosphere combined with the clouds of sulfur dioxide generates surface temperatures of 462 degrees Celsius.

Venus:The hottest planet because of its greenhouse. Clouds on Venus is made of Acid and clouds of Venus is thicker than Venus' sister planet. The Earth. Clouds make a hotter temperature but thicker clouds make hotter temperature than the thin and CLOUD MADE OF VAPOR = Raining Of Water

CLOUD MADE OF ACID (Venus cloud)= Acid Rain!

How come it doesn't rain in Venus if its so hot there?

The fact that Venus is so hot is the very reason it doesn't rain. When we say Venus is hot, we don't mean hot like a tropical country, we mean hotter than the inside of an oven on broil. Water cannot exist in the liquid there. Venus does have clouds of sulfuric acid, and a sort of "rain" does fall from them, but it evaporates before reaching the surface.
