Venus is referred to as "Earth's twin" because it is similar to Earth in size and composition. All other planets in the solar system are either significantly larger or significantly smaller.
It's very similar in size and it comes close and looks bright, but in many other respects it is very different. The main feature is its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and its chronic global warming, with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.
Not only is Venus our nearest neighbour, the two planets appear to be similar. Venus's mean radius is 95% of the Earths : it volume is 86%. Both being rocky planets, their densities are similar (Venus = 0.95*Earth). However, environmentally, they are very different. Venus has a mean temperature of 462 deg C compared with the Earth's 15 deg C; Venus has the densest atmosphere of the terrestrial planets, made up of mostly carbon dioxide but with a significant amount of highly corrosive sulphuric acid clouds.

Venus is considered the twin sister of earth because it has just about the same amount of mass as mother earth does
They are very similar in size. Earth is bigger though.
because they have the same size,same mass and because venus is the closest planet to earth...:)
Venus and Earth have sort of the same size. That is why Venus is also known as the Earth's twin sister. But actually, Venus' diameter is 12,104 km, while Earth's is 12,756 kilometers.So, there's little difference, but Venus is a bit smaller.It is slightly smaller than Earth.The diameter of Venus is about 0.949 times that of Earth.
the closest thing in our solar system to a double planet is Pluto-Charon, since they have a barycenter outside the two bodies. however, they are no longer considered planets. Some people call Neptune and Uranus twin planets because their composition is similar as are their looks.
Venus because they are almost the same size!
Earths twin is venus!
Hi Venus is the only planet that has the revolution period closest to that of the Earth. Venus with a revolution time of 224.7 Earth days. Venus is the brightest of all the planets in the solar system and is known as the Earth's twin sister due to the similarity between the two planets in terms of Size, mass etc.
No. It is not the twin sester. It is considered just the sister. Look up Venus. You can find it.
because they have the close size or similar size,,
Venus considered as earth's twin because it has same looks,shape and size.
Both are about the same size, but the surface of Earth and Venus are different. Venus is mainly a rocky surface, with highlands, lowlands and plains, with no vegetation or seas.
Because it is the closest in size to Earth
Earth and Venus.
All I can think of is that Venus is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet, or twin planet".
Venus is considered more so Earth's evil twin since it is basically the same size and its atmosphere is so toxic; its main ingredient is carbon dioxide. And with its highly volcanically active surface (65% of surface) it has quite the evil glow to it.
there are called sisters because of their similar size.
Also called Earth's sister planet , it is said that Earths twin is Venus because of their very similar size, although Earth is slightly larger.
The Twin Of The Earth Is Venus ..
Venus. It is VERY similar to Earth in mass and diameter. ;-D
