Yes
It is however not circular, it only looks more circular than that of Mars.
It is elliptical, or oval. An oval can be described as a circle with 2 centers. In the case of a planet, the sun ocupies one of these 2 centers. As a consequence, there is a maximum and a minimum ditance to the sun.
A circle can be considered as a special oval, where both centers are in the same place.
In the case of Venus, the two centers are near and the distance from the sun varies only 1%, it looks therefore more like a circle than the orbit of Mars which distance from the sun varies 17 %.
No. No two planets have the same size orbit. Mars orbits the sun at more than twice the distance that Venus does.
No planet's orbit is perfectly circular. They are all elipses.
The Earth's orbit has a relatively low eccentricity compared to some other planets in our solar system. For example, Mercury and Mars have more eccentric orbits than Earth. Venus and Jupiter have orbits that are almost circular, with very low eccentricities.
Venus is the closest planet to Earth, but it does not have oceans or human life like Earth. Depending on their relative positions in their orbits, Mercury, Earth, and Mars each swap that title between them. For example, when on opposite sides of their orbits, Venus and Earth can be more than 150 million miles apart, while Mars and Mercury can be as close as 74 and 31 million miles from Venus, respectively. It's a result of the circular nature of their orbits. The closest planet to Venus either earth or mercury depending where the planets are in their orbits.
They are heavier on Venus due to it's larger mass.
No. No two planets have the same size orbit. Mars orbits the sun at more than twice the distance that Venus does.
Venus has the most nearly circular orbit of all the planets in our solar system. Its eccentricity, a measure of how elongated an orbit is, is only 0.0067, making it almost circular compared to other planets like Mercury or Mars.

Mars and Venus and the moon.
Venus has the orbit closest to a circular orbit. Neptune's is not too bad also. Look for low' eccentricity' rating, the closer to zero the more circular.
The Earth's orbit has a relatively low eccentricity compared to some other planets in our solar system. For example, Mercury and Mars have more eccentric orbits than Earth. Venus and Jupiter have orbits that are almost circular, with very low eccentricities.
Yes some elliptical orbits are more circular than others
Yes. However, the orbits of all planets are elliptical. Some planets, like Earth, have a very low "eccentricity", which is a measure of how non-circular they are. Earth's orbit is not quite circular, but fairly close. Other planets, like Mars, have more eccentric orbits, and their perihelion and aphelion distances are substantially different.

Venus and Mars Mars is more closer... What has that mean?? To answer your question, Venus and Mars are close to Earth.
They are heavier on Venus due to it's larger mass.
Venus is brighter than Mars in the night sky. Due to its proximity to Earth and its reflective atmosphere, Venus appears as the third-brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon, making it more prominent than Mars.
