   Venus
   Planet Venus has the second most distant orbit from our star the Sun. It is slightly smaller than Earth. In many ways it is our sister planet - it receives similar heat energy from the sun (twice what Earth receives), with a similar internal structure to Earth. Its atmosphere is quite different, with 90 times the pressure of ours, and consisting of very corrosive gases. Its surface temperature can be well over 400 degrees celsius, due to a runaway greenhouse effect
