text: At first, in the beggining of the passage, he made a explanation of the Venus by comparing to the Earth. He first explain that Venus and Earth are similar in terms of density, size, and distance. Then he states that there are thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets in Venus, and their temperature and pressure is really high compared to Earth. This information that author gives us is great because readers can get backgroung information that can understand the missions and their risks that author will going to explain in the later passage.
