Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is similar in size to Earth. It has a dense atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide and rotates slowly in the opposite direction of Earth, with its day longer than its year. Venus was observed by ancient civilizations and remains the brightest object in the night sky, though its surface is obscured by thick, acidic clouds and it has mountains higher than those on Earth.
