They found something inexplicable in the atmosphere of Venus

The Living Force
A group of Russian, European and US scientists has discovered a warm layer in the atmosphere of Venus whose nature is unknown, published by the American magazine Astrobiology on its website.
Scientists have discovered that while working on the temperature map of the upper atmosphere on the night side of the planet, based on data collected by the probe Venus Express.
"The temperatures were measured at heights of 90 and 140 kilometers," said study author Denis Beljajev with the Moscow University of Physics and Technology (MIPT) and the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences. "On the night side of the planet temperatures normally fall from a height, but we observed a peak in the graph of the 90 th to 100 th kilometer. There is an atmosphere of 20 to 40 degrees warmer than we expected. We do not know what is causing the warming, but Venus is the ozone layer at that height, so there could be a connection. "
"We can not exclude the possibility that the phenomenon might be explained by chemical reactions or decomposition of ozone when it comes into contact with chlorine-based substances - these reactions can lead to the release of heat," he said.
Scientists have discovered yet another specialty of the upper atmosphere of Venus: early morning is warmer than the evening, and it should be the other way around. According to Belyaev, the reason is probably the global circulation of the atmosphere.
 
Hi Casper, I have given this some thought, and here is what I propose:

1. Some of the molecules in the atmosphere of Earth exhibit magnetic properties and align with the magnetic field of the Earth.
These tiny magnets will react to the positively charged proton stream radiating from the sun, and kick at right angles to it, the moment they are exposed to it. (Electrical motor theory)
The force is tremendous, as the solar wind is travelling at a couple of million miles per hour.
This in my opinion is what drives the rotation of the Earth.

2. On Earth as the planet rotates, some of the atmosphere is coming into the radiation of the sun and becomes ionized.
The charged ions then move according to the magnetic field of the Earth (like a motor) and in the case of the Earth, they move towards the centre of the Earth. This explains foggy mornings.
In the evening, the radiation from the sun goes away, and the atmosphere de-ionizes. The previously charged particles rise back to where they were before, due to the density gradient. This explains the afternoon cool changes you see.

Note that the atmosphere in Venus is totally different to that of the Earth, and consists of different types of ionic structures of atoms and molecules, which will react differently than our atmosphere would, and temperature and pressure would also come into account.
Once you know what the Venusian molecules are, you would be able to show that they would react to the solar wind according to the same principles, but perhaps differently due to the charge they carry, or it could even be due to the temperature and hence density of the atmosphere.

I hope that made sense.
