We learned that despite Venus being called the "Sister Planet" to Earth, it has very few similarities. Venus is about the same size as Earth and is also a terrestrial planet, but the atmosphere is completely different. Venus has a very thick atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. It also has clouds composed of sulfuric acid that cover the entire planet all the time! The air pressure is so thick you'd be crushed if you were standing on the surface. Not a nice place to live!
Two planets to go in this series: Jupiter and Uranus.
