Answer:

Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Atmosphere of Venus planet has carbon dioxide as the major component. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. The solar radiations are trapped by surface of Venus during day time. The radiations reflected back by the ground are trapped by higher level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This greenhouse effect keeps the Venus planet warm.
