text: Venus is often called the "Evening star" but it isn't actually a star, it's a planet. Venus is also called "Earth's twin" because of it's similarity in size and density to Earth. Venus, Earth and Mars all orbit the Sun, but at different speeds. These different speeds often result in humans being able to see Venus as if it is a star. Many spacecrafts have been sent to Venus to conduct stuides but none have ever been successful due to the conditons of Venus' surafce. I think that if humans could find a way to safely observe Venus and determine it's climate and what is on the surface, then it would be worth the risk of getting close to the planet.
