Venus

With an average solar distance of 108 million kilometres, Venus is the second innermost planet in the solar system and the third smallest with a diameter of about 12,100 kilometres. It is one of the four Earth-like planets, also called terrestrial or rocky planets. Venus is the planet that comes closest to Earth's orbit in its orbit, with a minimum distance of 38 million kilometres. It is similar in size to Earth, but differs in terms of geology and especially in its atmosphere. This consists of 96 % carbon dioxide and its surface pressure is 90 times higher than on Earth. After the moon, Venus is the brightest star in the night sky. Because it is one of the lower planets and is only visible in the morning or evening sky and never around midnight, it is also called the morning star and the evening star. Even with a small telescope it can be observed in the daytime sky, sometimes even unaided. But even when it is close to Earth (about every 1½ years), only the cloud streaks of the extremely dense atmosphere can be seen. Exploration of the surface requires radar.
