The reason that says that Venus should have had water from the sources the same as the Earth, but all of those are gone is not a correct reason why Venus is dry. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system because of the atmosphere it has. The atmosphere of Venus contains 95% of CO2 causing it be hot and dry.
