text: Venus is the second planet from the sun and knowing that it's so close must mean that it really is hot. But also, as i have said it's really simmular to Earth. As is says in the article "It may have well been the most Earth-like planet." Also they have said that Venus has some feature that are just like earth "The planet has a suface of rocky sediment and includes familiar features like valleys, moutains, and craters." Knowing a little about Venus you have so much more to learn.
