The Venus

Is the brightest object in the sky after the SUN and the Moon, and sometimes looks like a bright star in the morning or evening sky

The planet is a little smaller than Earth, and is similar to Earth inside.

We can't see the surface of venus from Earth, because it is covered with thick clouds
