Rocky Planet#2 from the Sun

Venus

Earth's Toxic Twin

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, with surface temperatures reaching 465°C — hot enough to melt lead. Its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide creates a runaway greenhouse effect. Venus rotates backward compared to most planets, and a single day on Venus lasts longer than its year. Its surface is hidden beneath permanent sulfuric acid clouds.
