Answer:

Venus has a very thick, dense atmosphere. This runaway greenhouse gas effect traps heat very well, causing the temperature of Venus, a relatively uniform which is hot during the day and night and at the equator and polls. So the atmosphere is they condense, so this reflects a lot of light. So actually, a lot of the light from the sun doesn't even make it into Venus's atmosphere. But the ones that do stay, causing the atmosphere to heat up and it bounced these this light in this heat bounces around inside the atmosphere, and since the atmosphere is relatively uniform across all of Venus, the temperature also stays relatively uniform across all of Venus day and night and pulls an equator.
