Venus

Venus is one of the nine planets in our Solar System. Venus is the second closest to the sun and the closest planet to earth. It has been known since prehistoric times a long time ago. Venus at a time was believed to have the same appearance as earth, a long time ago. Many think of venus as earth's sister in terms of planets. Venus is approximately 108, 208, 930 kilometres from the sun. Venus is the brightest planet which can be seen from the earth. Venus possesses thick clouds which are filled with gas and acid. The planet has an approximate mass of 4.869e24 kilograms. Venus does not have any traces of water however it is also believed that when Venus had an appearance which resembled earth, that it did hold some water. Venus's atmosphere is made up of 96% of Carbon Dioxide, 3.5% of Nitrogen and 0.5% of other smaller gases. This is very much different to that of earth as our planet of approximately 78% Nitrogen, 21% of Oxygen and other smaller gases. This could show that the earth may possibly morph appearance over time to resemble Venus's appearance. Due to the fact that venus has a hot atmosphere it is almost impossible for human's to sustain any life. Also because the planet does not possess any water at all, then it would be impossible for us humans to ever live life on Venus. Venus has been known for its ability to be extremely bright, just not as bright as the moon and the sun. Because Venus has a slow rotation of 243 earth days, it has no form of magnetic field's surrounding it.
