Homonym: Venus (Goddess)
Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition. However, its atmosphere is thick with carbon dioxide, creating a runaway greenhouse effect that makes it the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures reaching up to 900°F.
The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It has a bright appearance, often visible from Earth, and is sometimes called the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star". Despite its beauty, the harsh conditions on Venus make it an inhospitable place for life as we know it.
