Because carbon dioxide dissolves in water and is transported by rain to the surface where it combines with rocks to generate carbonates, the Earth's atmosphere contains significantly less carbon dioxide than Venus's atmosphere.
Since Venus' atmosphere is around 100 times thicker than the earth's and extremely dense. Venus must be sufficiently close to the Sun for the little carbon dioxide in its early atmosphere to have heated the surface and released additional carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up 79% of the atmosphere on Earth, along with oxygen (20%) and a trace amount of other gases including carbon dioxide and water vapor. On Venus and Mars, however, carbon dioxide makes up the majority of the atmosphere.
In Venus's original ocean drained, water vapor molecules were dispersed by ultraviolet light, and hydrogen was released into space. There was no longer any surface water, and the amount of carbon dioxide increased.
