For one thing, Venus is much closer to the sun than Jupiter. Also, Venus is covered with snow-white clouds where Jupiter's atmosphere has many colors that don't reflect as much light. Venus is the 3rd brightest object in the sky while Jupiter lags behind at #4.

∙ 8y agoJupiter and Venus are two fundamentally different types of planet. Venus is a terrestrial or rocky planet. It is made mostly of rock with a core of iron and nickel. In terms of size and composition it is very similar to Earth. Venus has a very hot, dense atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide. The surface is obscured by clouds of sulfuric acid.
Jupiter is a Jovian planet, also known as a gas giant. It is the largest planet in the solar system, hundreds of times more massive than Venus. Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with a core of rock and metal. It does not have a definite surface. Its atmosphere gradually transitions into supercritical hydrogen, a state somewhere between liquid and gas, and then into liquid metallic hydrogen.
