Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system. It's often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition. However, Venus is an inhospitable world with extreme temperatures, a thick atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, and crushing surface pressures. Its surface is hot enough to melt lead, making it the hottest planet in our solar system. Venus is also known for its dense cloud cover, which obscures its surface from direct view.
