    9. Although the high surface temperatures on Venus are partly attributable to its closer proximity to the sun, a primary reason is the strong greenhouse effect induced by a dense atmosphere almost entirely made up of carbon dioxide. In contrast, Mars is cold because it is farther from the sun than earth and has a very thin atmosphere. Despite the high CO2 concentration, the net greenhouse effect is much weaker than for earth.
