Venus is Earth's inner neighbour. It is similar in size to Earth but very different in other ways. Underneath its dense clouds is a rock world with lava-covered surface and hundreds of volcanoes, wich last erupted 500 million years ago.

Carbon dioxine in Venus's atmosphere traps heat in the same waythat glass traps heat in a greenhouse. This helps produce the highest surface temperture of all the planets.
