Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun , orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. [13] It has the longest rotation period (243 days) of any planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets (meaning the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east). [14] It does not have any natural satellites . It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty . It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon , reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6 – bright enough to cast shadows at night and, rarely, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight. [15] [16] Orbiting within Earth's orbit , Venus is an inferior planet and never appears to venture far from the Sun; its maximum angular distance from the Sun ( elongation ) is 47.8°.

Template:Planet Infobox/Venus Venus , the second planet from the Sun , is named after the Roman goddess Venus . A terrestrial planet , it is sometimes called Earth 's "sister planet", as the two are very similar in size and bulk composition. Although all planets' orbits are elliptical , Venus's orbit is the closest to circular , with an eccentricity of less than 1%. As Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth, it always appears in roughly the same direction from Earth as the Sun (the greatest elongation is 47.8°), so on Earth it can usually only be seen a few hours before sunrise or a few hours after sunset. However, when at its brightest, Venus may be seen during the daytime, making it one of only two heavenly bodies that can be seen both day and night (the other being the Moon ). It is sometimes referred to as the " Morning Star " or the " Evening Star ", and when it is visible in dark skies it is by far the brightest star -like object in the sky. |

Venus is the second planet from the Sun , named after the Roman goddess Venus . It is a terrestrial planet , very similar in size and bulk composition to Earth ; it is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" as a result of this similarity. Sometimes (inaccurately) referred to as the "morning star" or the "evening star", it is by far the brightest "star" in the sky. Because Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth is, it is always in roughly the same direction as the Sun , so can only be seen just before sunrise or just after sunset. |
