Venus

Venus is the second planet from the Sun

Info
Orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days.The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows.Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it has been referred to by ancient cultures as the Morning Star or Evening Star.

Venus is classified as a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" owing to their similar size, gravity, and bulk composition (Venus is both the closest planet to Earth and the planet closest in size to Earth). However, it has been shown to be very different from Earth in other respects. Venus is shrouded by an opaque layer of highly reflective clouds of sulfuric acid, preventing its surface from being seen from space in visible light. It has the densest atmosphere of the four terrestrial planets, consisting mostly of carbon dioxide. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of Earth's. With a mean surface temperature of  735 K   (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus is by far the hottest planet in the Solar System. It has no carbon cycle to lock carbon back into rocks and surface features, nor does it seem to have any organic life to absorb it in biomass. Venus may have possessed oceans in the past,but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to the runaway greenhouse effect.The water has most probably phtotdissociated, and, because of the lack of a planetary magneticx field, the free hydrogen has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind.Venus's surface is a dry desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and periodically refreshed by volcanism. More Info Venus is known to be the Earth's twin sister because they have the same size. The atmosphere of Venus which is 90 times denser than our planet. It is covered by a very thick cloud of carbon dioxide, because of this too much greenhouse gas, the Planet is even hotter than Mercury. The day of Venus is longer than its year. This means that it travels its orbit faster that it moves around its axis. The Planet is believed to be geologically active by having numerous active volcanoes. This planet does not have tectonic plates that affect the movement of overlying surface. The "thick veil" of Venus makes it hard for scientists to study its surface. Together with Planet Uranus, another unique feature about this Planet is that it rotates from East to West. Venus can be seen at night and during dawn. It is the brightest object in the sky.

Trivia
Because it's close to Earth, it is sometimes visible that's why it can be called as the Evening Star.
