Venus is so hot because of a number of things.

It is closer to the Sun than Earth but that is not the main reason.

Venus has a massive amount of carbon dioxide (green house gas) in it's atmosphere which prevents solar radiation from being released back into space. So every day, energy from the Sun is absorbed by the planet but is not released back into space.

Venus is an example of "global warming" gone mad.

If we are not careful, this could be the fate of our Earth.
