What Venus is Really About

     Venus was named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty is and Earth's sister planet.  Venus is also known as the Morning and Evening Star.  This planet is the second planet from the Sun with an average temperature of 867* F.  
     The planet's shape is similar to Earth's.  It's diameter is 95% of Earth's and its mass is 81.55% of our planet's.  The range of the planets suface areas is 10%. 
     Although the planet's shape are incredibly similar, they also have some important differences.  Venus rotates much slower than Earth and does not have a satellite.  These are just some of the points that make Earth and Venus different. 
     Venus is made metal, and liquid & solid rock.  Its atmosphere is dense and cloud-covered.  The clouds are made of sulfuric acid droplets and sulfur dioxide(instead of water).
