How is the greenhouse effect on Venus different to the same effect on Earth?
What will be an ideal response?
Sunlight filters down through the clouds and warms the surface, but heat cannot escape easily because the atmosphere is opaque to infrared radiation. Traces of sulfur dioxide and water vapor help trap the infrared, but it is the overwhelming abundance of carbon dioxide that makes the greenhouse effect on Venus much more severe than on Earth.
