Scientists expected venus to have a large amount of water. however, little detectable water has been found anywhere on venus, either on its surface or in its atmosphere. water, like carbon dioxide, is a greenhouse gas. what is not a reason for venus to now be so dry?

The reason that says that Venus should have had water from the sources the same as the Earth, but all of those are gone is not a correct reason why Venus is dry. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system because of the atmosphere it has. The atmosphere of Venus contains 95% of CO2 causing it be hot and  dry.
