   Of all known planets, moons, and newly discovered exoplanets, Venus is the most Earth-like in size, overall composition, and energy received from the Sun. Venus was likely the first habitable planet in the solar system as our young Sun began to heat up, creating the "Goldilocks Zone" – or habitable zone – the range of distance from a star ...

   On Earth, with its spin axis tilted by about 23 degrees, we experience summer when our part of the planet (our hemisphere) receives the Sun’s rays more directly – a result of that tilt. In winter, the tilt means the rays are less direct.

   How did Venus become a planet?

   • (Credit: NASA) Like all the other planets, Venus was likely formed in the large cloud of gas, dust, and ice of the ancient solar system, which collapsed into a spinning disc. Our Sun was born at its centre, and the planets were created about 4.5 billion years ago from particles sticking together along rings in the disc.

   • It's a cloud-swaddled planet named for a love goddess, often called Earth’s twin. But pull up a bit closer, and Venus turns hellish. Our nearest planetary neighbor, the second planet from the Sun, has a surface hot enough to melt lead. The atmosphere is so thick that, from the surface, the Sun is just a smear of light.
