Gravity is a function of the masses of the bodies in question, and the distance to one another. Venus and earth have similar masses, and so the difference is the distance to the sun.

RE:
why does venus experience a stronger gravitional pull from the sun than the earth?

Gravitational force between any two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them (called the "inverse square" law).
A rough approximation, assuming the mass of Venus is about equal to the mass of Earth and that Venus is 2/3 as far from the Sun as Earth, gives a reduction in gravitational strength felt by Venus and Earth of (2/3)^2, or 4/9. In other words, Venus experiences a gravitational pull from the Sun more than twice as strong as Earth does.

Since Venus and Earth are similar in both size, shape and basically made up of similar materials the only difference that should cause a difference in the intensity of their gravitational pull by the sun is the fact that Venus is the second planet from the sun while Earth is 3rd.

Venus is almost the same mass as the earth, but is much closer to the sun. The sun's gravitational field exerts a greater influence

Venus is closer to the Sun. The Sun is bigger than the Earth. These are all of the resons I could think of to answer you.

Gravity between two objects is affected directly by the mass of each of the objects and inversely by the distance between the objects. An increase in mass will increase the gravity. An increase in distance will decrease the gravity.
The distance relationship can be looked at like putting your hand to a flame. The closer your hand is to the flame then the hotter your hand will get. The further away then the less heating.

because of its order.
We are the third planet from the sun, but venus is second, thus it is closer and is affected by the sun in a stronger way, sort of like the moons effect on us.

Because it is closer to the sun than the Earth.
