Venus was named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon, Venus is the brightest natural object in the night sky. It is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet", because of the similar size, gravity, and bulk composition. Venus is believed to have previously had Earth-like oceans, but these evaporated as the temperature rose. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. Venus' length of day is 243 Earth days. A temperature high is 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Hope that helped.
