text: Like i said Venus is Earths twin. Venus, at some points, is the closest planet to earth. The only exception is Mars becasue all 3 travel around the sun at different times. Venus is our closest and most reliable planetary visit. Its conditions dozens of miles above the surface are rough, but liveable. With temperatures at that height at 170 degrees Fahrenheit, Venus is the closest things we can find to Earth. Meaning at one point Venus was probably just like earth with large oceans and mountains. If Venus was just like Earth back then, there is a chance that there was forms of life on this planet. This make scientist want to go and get sample of the gas and rocks on Venus and try to see if there was life on other planets except Earth.
