Water vapor is a very effective greenhouse gas.It caused the temperature to rise and more water to evaporate The temperature then climbed still further.Today it is likely that all of Venus water has evaporated into the atmosphere. This atmosphere effectively keeps the suns energy and makes the surface to burn much hotter than it naturally would.If you happen to find a way to survive the extreme heat on the surface of Venus, you will quickly notice something strange about the days. Venus rotates（旋转）very slowly,
