Answer 2

Venus is known for its hellishly hot surface temperatures. But it has other distinctions too, such as it rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets .

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Venus is very hot because it gets surrounded by a dense atmosphere, about 100 times greater than Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight shines in this atmosphere, it causes more heat on the surface of Venus.

Heat accumulates and develops to very high temperatures. Venus revolves around its axis, unlike most planets. This means that on Venus, the sun appears to raise in west and descend in the east. On Earth, the sun usually rises in east and descends west.

The year of Venus - the time it takes to rotate around the sun - 225 earth days. Usually, this means that the days of Venus are so long than a year. However, due to the interesting reterograde rotation of Venus, the time period from one east to next is only 117 earth days.
