Early life (1935-1947) Minerva McGonagall was born on the outskirts of Caithness in the Scottish Highlands, on 4 October, 1935 to Robert McGonagall, a Muggle Presbyterian minister, and his wife, Isobel Ross, a witch. She was the couple's first child, and was named after her mother's grandmother, a very talented witch.
Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's sister planet because of their similar size, mass, proximity to the Sun, and bulk composition. It is radically different from Earth in other respects.
Venus, goddess of Love and Beauty, Springtime and Flowers (second planet from the Sun). The second planet in distance from the Sun, the most brilliant object in the sky, she appears to welcome both the dawn and the dusk. Her symbol appears below. Venus is the one goddess whose name was given to an important planet. Venus (corresponds to the Greek: Aphrodite, and the Babylonian: Ishtar) is the goddess of love and beauty. The planet is so named probably because it is the brightest of the planets known to the ancients. With a few exceptions, the surface features on Venus are named for female figures. This is the planet commonly called the evening star or the morning star (depending on which side of the sun it happens to be).
