text: The author says in paragraph 2 that Venus is referred to as Earth's "twin" because of its distance away size and density. This means that Venus is not too far away from us and with it being so similar it would be extrodinary to find out what other similarities we have with Venus. If I had a twin I would want to know more about him as well. Not only is it close in size, density, and distance it also may have been layers with many oceans and various forms of life as well, which the author states in paragraph 4. The author also states that Venus also has many of the naturally formed structures that Earth has such as valleys, mountains, and craters.
