Choose the correct option :
Assertion (A) : Venus is hotter than mercury though it is farther from sun than mercury.
Reason (R) : Venus rotates from east to west.

Correct option is B

The Correct answer is Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) Is not correct explanation of (A).
• Venus is indeed hotter than Mercury, despite being farther from the Sun. The reason for this lies in the atmospheric conditions on Venus.
• Venus has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide (around 96%), which creates a greenhouse effect.
• The greenhouse effect traps heat in the atmosphere, causing Venus to have an extremely high surface temperature.
• Venus rotates from east to west, which is known as retrograde rotation. This means that if you were observing Venus from above the Sun's North Pole, you would see Venus rotating in the opposite direction of most other planets in our solar system. Most planets, including Earth, havea prograde rotation, which is from west to east.
