Tim,

Venus is approximately the same size as earth, and somewhat closer to the sun. The 900 temperature difference is mainly due to the runaway greenhouse effect, which did not allow oceans to form. Compare the temperature delta between earth->mars(-30F) and venus->earth(-900F).

It is pretty clear that most of the heating on Venus is due to greenhouse gasses, rather than proximity to the sun.
