Venus is Earth's closest planetary neighbor and is often called Earth's "sister" or "twin" planet. It has similar size, mass, and composition to Earth, though its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere makes the surface extremely hot and inhospitable. Venus likely had oceans in the past that evaporated due to a runaway greenhouse effect. It has volcanoes and mountains, but no magnetic field or moon. Venus rotates in the opposite direction of Earth, so the sun would appear to rise in the west and set in the east.

2.  VENUS, the second planet from the
sun, is often referred to as one of
the “ inner planets”.
 It’s one of the first FOUR planets
closest to the sun.

4.  In astronomy mythology, Venus
was the Roman goddess of love
and beauty.
 In Greek, her name was
Aphrodite.

5.  Like the Earth, Venus has an
Atmosphere.
 It is far thicker than that of the
Earth, making it difficult for
modern science to penetrate.

6.  Venus is in many ways Earth's
sister planet. It is almost identical
in size, chemistry, gravity and
density as the Earth.
 Venus has volcanoes, mountains
and sand, just like Earth.

7.  Venus does not have an ozone layer. The ultraviolet
radiation from the Sun finds ITS way directly into
Venus' atmosphere. Over many years a billion of this
radiation has slowly broken down water molecules
into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
 Venus is one of the four terrestrial planets in the Solar
System, meaning that, like Earth, it is a rocky body. In
size and mass, it is similar to Earth, and is often
described as Earth's "sister" or "twin". The diameter of
Venus is 12,092 km (only 650 km less than Earth's) and
its mass is 81.5% of Earth's. Conditions on the Venusian
surface differ radically from those on Earth, owing to
its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere. The mass of
the atmosphere of Venus is 96.5% carbon dioxide,
with most of the remaining 3.5% being nitrogen

8.  Instead of the Sun rising in the east and setting in the
west, the Sun on Venus would appear to rise in the
west and set in the east.
 Moons: Venus has no moon.
 Venus may have possessed oceans in the past, but
these would have vaporized as the temperature rose
due to a runaway greenhouse effect. The water has
most probably photodissociated, and, because of
the lack of a planetary magnetic field, the free
hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space
by the solar wind. Venus's surface is a dry
desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and
periodically refreshed by volcanism.
