Answer to Question 1

Sunlight filters down through the clouds and warms the surface, but heat cannot escape easily because the atmosphere is opaque to infrared radiation. Traces of sulfur dioxide and water vapor help trap the infrared, but it is the overwhelming abundance of carbon dioxide that makes the greenhouse effect on Venus much more severe than on Earth.

Answer to Question 2

Volcanism around the ring of fire is caused by the motion of the tectonic plates, and are composite volcanoes. On Venus, there are no plate tectonics so the volcanoes are shield volcanoes, the type produced by hot-spot volcanism.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
