Venus is often called the sister planet to Earth. Its surface had volcanos that lava flowed out of, forming land, sand and mountains. When Venus was first born, it looked a lot like Earth. It had lots of water, but it is so close to the sun that all the water evaporated. The planet’s average temperature of 850 degrees caused a natural greenhouse effect, trapping gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide has built up, making it a toxic planet where living things cannot survive.
