Despite being farther from the sun and mercury, Venus has a much warmer temperature. What accounts for Venus’s temperature being higher than Mercury’s? Also if anyone is in environmental science and can help me with the answers I would appreciate it.

Explanation: Despite being farther from the sun and mercury, Venus has a much warmer temperature. Because Venus is closer to the sun than Earth is, it receives  more solar energy than Earth does. Much of this radiation is reflected by Venus's clouds, but some radiation reaches the surface and is later given off as heat. The carbon dioxide in Venus's  atmosphere traps heat so well that Venus has the hottest surface  among the planets. This trapping of heat by the atmosphere is  called the greenhouse effect. The Venus has thick atmosphere than Mercury.
