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.
1 Venus is 67 million miles, or 108 million kilometres, from the Sun. 2  Venus is covered by clouds of water vapour and sulphuric acid and the surface cannot be seen with an ordinary astronomy telescope. 3  Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the Sun.
