Best Answer

The planet Venus is covered with volcanoes from the immense heat from CO2 in its atmosphere. Venus got its name from the Roman (or Greek idk) god of love because of its "shining beauty" from the light of the lava rivers. Many believe that they would have switched its name with Mars (planet named after God of War) they would have known its intensely hostile climate. Mars also has volcanoes but none are active.
