It is the reason Venus is a hellish, sweltering place.

I'm sure its proximity to the giant heat radiating fireball in the sky has nothing to do with it.

Venus is hotter than Mercury, which is much closer to that "giant heat radiating fireball in the sky".

This is explained by the fact that Mercury is travelling faster than Venus, and therefore cools more due to Solar Wind Chill.
