Venus

-->
  • Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and is the sixth largest planet in the solar system. Because many of its features are proportionately similar to Earth's, Venus has been nicknamed Earth's sister planet. However its atmosphere is far more volatile, and features significantly higher pressure as well as clouds of sulfuric acid.
