Venus

Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system. It is often referred to as Earth’s "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition. Venus has a thick, toxic atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid, making it the hottest planet in the solar system despite not being the closest to the Sun. Its surface is characterized by volcanic plains, highland regions, and a few large impact craters. Venus has no moons and rotates on its axis very slowly, with a day on Venus lasting longer than a year. The planet has been a subject of study for scientists due to its extreme conditions and its potential for past habitability, as well as its bright appearance, which makes it visible from Earth.
