Venus is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to its similar size and composition, yet its conditions are drastically different. It has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid, resulting in a runaway greenhouse effect that makes it the hottest planet in the solar system, with surface temperatures averaging around 900°F (475°C). Additionally, Venus rotates on its axis very slowly and in the opposite direction to most planets, leading to unusual day-night cycles. The planet also has no moons or rings, making its orbital dynamics unique among the terrestrial planets.
