About Venus
The hottest planet at 465C due to runaway greenhouse effect. Rotates backwards compared to most planets. A day on Venus is longer than its year. Surface pressure is 90 times Earths, equivalent to being 900 meters underwater. The atmosphere is 96 percent carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid. Sometimes called Earths evil twin.
