Venus' environment is very harsh. It is primarily carbon dioxide with a little nitrogen thrown in. There is a runaway greenhouse effect, and the average temperature is actually hotter than Mercury. Above the carbon dioxide layers, there are clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Average temperature is 460 C, or 860 F.
