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. Due to 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 (more than half a mile) under the ocean.

Why is earths atmosphere so different from those of mars and Venus?

Venus' surface conditions are different because of the atmosphere that venus has. Its atmosphere is mostly Co2 which is a greenhouse gas. This greenhouse gas allows the suns warmth to penetrate to the surface, but is unable to reflect back out into space. Therefor The heat is trapped between the atmosphere and the surface. Because of this the surface temperature of the Venus is a sweltering 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
