* Dense Atmosphere: Venus has an incredibly thick atmosphere, composed mostly of carbon dioxide. This atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making Venus the hottest planet in our solar system.
* Constant Cloud Cover: The Venusian atmosphere is perpetually covered in thick, sulfuric acid clouds. These clouds reflect sunlight, preventing it from reaching the surface.
* No Sunlight Penetration: Because of the dense clouds, very little sunlight actually reaches the surface of Venus.
* Surface Temperature: The surface of Venus is incredibly hot, reaching temperatures of around 867 degrees Fahrenheit (464 degrees Celsius).
So, while the sun shines on Venus, the thick atmosphere and cloud cover mean that it's never a clear, sunny day on the surface.
