second planet from the Sun
sixth largest planet
Venus has been called Earth’s sister planet, since it’s fairly close in size (95%), has a density and chemical composition, and has few craters, indicating a similar young age. This led many to believe that there might even be life hidden under the thick layer of clouds. This has since been proven to be impossible.
Its orbit about the Sun takes 224.7 days with its distance from the Sun being almost three-quarters that of the Earth.
