Venus is a planet, the second planet from the Sun, and is named after Venus, the Roman Goddess of love and beauty.

The planet has clouds made up of sulfuric acid that hide the planet's surface from view. It is not much to see, because the thick carbon dioxide atmosphere has given Venus a hellish surface temperature of 460°C (860°F) with an air pressure 90 times that of Earth. It is a desolate, waterless, rocky desert only visited by the sturdiest of robotic probes from Earth.

With its reflective clouds and its relative closeness to Earth and the Sun, Venus is the brightest planet in the night sky (that is why they call it the morning and evening star). It is sometimes called the Earth's "twin planet" because it began as a very similar body, about the same size as Earth.

It's a planet covered by an opaque, dense atmosphere and it's very hot (460C or higher).

The gravity there is almost as great as on Earth, but the pressure would crush humans. The atmosphere consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide and there is no liquid water.
