Venus

Venus is Earth's twin!
Does that mean there could be life on Venus?

 

Features of Venus

Venus has no moons and is closet to Earth. It is very hot. The temperature is 900°F. You  can see Venus without a telescope. Its atmosphere is very poisonous. Venus rains sulfuric acid. Venus has a lot of pancake volcanoes. There are craters on Venus that cover most of the ground. Venus is too hot for life and is the second brightest object you can see from Earth in the night sky.

Compare to Earth

Venus and Earth are the same because they both don’t have rings. They are both inner planets. Venus and Earth are about the same size. They both also have atmospheres. Those are the things Earth and Venus have in common.    

Some differences  are Earth has 1 moon and Venus has no moons. Earth is the 3rd planet away from the Sun and Venus is the 2nd planet from  the Sun. Venus has a poisonous atmosphere and Earth doesn’t, Venus has no oxygen and Earth does. Venus  has no water and Earth has plenty of water.

Since there is no oxygen or water on Venus, so far you can only live on Earth!
