Venus is sometimes called 'Earth's Twin' because of its similar size. But size and gravity are about the only things the two planets have in common. Venus rotates in the opposite direction to Earth. Its day is longer than its year and, at 462o C is hotter than Mercury.
Of course, with it's extremely hostile surface conditions there's no place really to visit on the surface. Venus has one orbital installation. Are rather small refinery called Burnell Station.
I hope this tour starts to pick up...I know some people will can me for this but, Venus is boring
Onward to Earth!
