Detailed explanation-1: -This story is set on the planet Venus, where the sun shines for only two hours once every seven years. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -they feel ashamed for what they have done to Margot and sad that the sun is gone. In other words, they all feel gloomy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Margot is different from the other children because she used to live on Earth, in Ohio, and so she remembers the sun, they do not.
Detailed explanation-4: -On Venus, the sun only comes out once every seven years, and for the remainder of the time people live underground in the darkness hiding from the pelting rain. Venus, therefore, is a society that is entirely removed from nature, something both caused by and symbolized by the absence of sun.
