History of venus

enus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest.Since Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Moon, and the Sun, it was given the name of the Roman goddess of beauty and love, the ancient Greek’s named it Aphrodite. In ancient times, Venus was taught as being two different objects in the sky: The Mourning Star and The Evening Star. In Mercury’s case, it was also mistakenly believed to be two different things. It is the only planet named after a female deity and it is the brightest planet in the Solar System.More than about 62 degrees hotter than Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. It was then concluded that Venus has the hottest surface out of all the planets and the hopes that it resembled Earth, were shattered. Its thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect greatly contributing to the planets high temperatures.
