Venus is a good proxy for an exoplanet study around M-dwarf stars since such exoplanets are likely tidally locked in their orbits and Venus has a very slow rotational period which approximates this well.
Aug 28, 2019 · We discuss candidate Venus analogs identified by the Kepler and TESS exoplanet missions and provide an update to exoplanet demographics that can be placed in the potential runaway greenhouse...
Indeed, Venus is the type-planet for a world that has transitioned from habitable and Earth-like conditions through the inner edge of the Habitable Zone (HZ); thus it provides a natural laboratory to study the evolution of habitability (Way et al. 2016, 2020).
In summary: study of Venus is central to the study of comparative planetology solar system and evolution, crucial to understanding both our own planet and earth-sized exoplanets everywhere.

Feb 9, 2023 · We can study Venus as “the exoplanet in our backyard” and obtain measurements, including in situ data, that are not feasible at planets orbiting distant stars. We can also study a statistical sample of Venus-sized exoplanets to explore if a Venus-like evolutionary pathway is typical.
