How does this paragraph develop the topic of extreme weather?

The hottest day that we know of on Earth was July 10, 1913. On that day, Death Valley, California, reached 134° F. But compared to Venus, that Earth-scorching temperature is a cool breeze. The thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide on Venus turns it into a greenhouse (but without the happy plants). The atmosphere holds in the Sun’s heat and never lets the planet cool off, even at night. Surface temperatures are almost 900° F—hot enough to melt lead!

• It discusses the hottest day on Earth.

• It compares the heat on Earth to Venus.

• It discusses the heat of the planet Venus.
