Venus is a very amazing planet that is located in relatively close proximity to the Earth.
Once thought to harbor life, Venus is now considered the most hellish, inhospitable planet in our solar system. Named for the goddess of beauty, the conditions on the surface of the planet are anything but beautiful.
