the surface tempruter of venus is
1)warmer due to absorption of long-wave(infrared)by green house gas
2)warmer due to the absorbation of short waves (ultravilote)

The correct choice is 1) warmer due to absorption of long-wave infrared by greenhouse gases.
Venus's atmosphere not only contains CO2 at 90 bars, it also contains water vapor, and clouds of sulphuric acid, all of which absorb heavily within the IR spectrum.
This website will show you a graph that compares the wavelengths absorbed by various greenhouse gases:

Keep in mind that the CO2 absorption bands are widened by the high atmospheric partial pressure of CO2 on Venus, making it even more significant than the graph shows.

You REALLY need to learn how to spell and write a coherent question. Sheesh.
