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.

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.
