I wonder if one were to install a solar shade in front of Venus to block all light from the sun, how long would it take to cool to "normal" temperatures?
The Earth cools pretty fast between day/night and seasonally, but Venus has a much thicker atmosphere, almost more like an ocean. And then the ground itself wouldn't cool instantly either. That's a lot of thermal mass.
