Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the children, Margot, moved to Venus from Earth five years earlier, and she is the only one who remembers sunshine, since the sun shines regularly on Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -It opens on the day that the sun is due to make its appearance once again. Margot and the other children in her school on Venus are nine years old. Margot came from Earth to Venus five years ago. Therefore she accurately recalls the sun and the way it looked and felt as it shone on her when she was back in Ohio.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Margot had memories of the sun and the glorious effect and warmth of the sun. But the children had no recollections and remembered only the colourless and depressing rain on Venus. This was the main difference.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ans. Nine years old are the children on the Venus. They can not recall the sun because on Venus, the sun appears once in seven years and the last time when it appeared they were just two years old so they could not recall it now.

Detailed explanation-5: -Margot was brought to Venus with her parents only five years ago. Therefore, she spent her first four years on Earth and remembers the sun vividly.
