Venus

The planet's surface is mainly flat, but it has raised areas which look like Earth's continents.
Venus has an atmosphere that is mostly made up of carbon dioxide gas. It presses down on the planet's surface like a great weight.
Dense clouds of sulfuric acid reflect the Sun's rays, making Venus shine like a very bright star. Any rays which are not reflected become trapped around the planet, raising its temperature to around 900 degrees F.
Venus is the Roman goddess of love, and most of the features on the planet Venus are named after real of imaginary women. Two of its continents take the names of the goddesses Ishtar and Aphrodite, and a crater is named after the famous jazz singer Billie Holiday
