Like a greenhouse, or a glasshouse, that holds in the heat, so the atmosphere of Venus, more then 96% carbon dioxide, keeps in the heat. Venus got so hot that all the oceans boiled dry and the water vapor escaped into space. The surface temperature of Venus is now 894 °F (480 °C). Hot!
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
The process you're referring to is called the greenhouse effect. On Venus, the thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun, leading to extremely high surface temperatures. This effect is similar to what occurs on Earth, but the extreme conditions on Venus result in a much more pronounced greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
the main reason is because of so much carbon dioxide co2.
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 "greenhouse effect."

EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
Research has shown that the planet Venus has its atmosphere temperature increased by the greenhouse effect
Both Earth and Venus have increase temperature due to a greenhouse effect. Venus has a much stronger greenhouse effect than Earth does.

Venus. The atmosphere of Venus consists of about 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), a powerful greenhouse gas.
Venus has an estreme greenhouse effect.
