(1) Because they are similar in size, density, and location (second and third planets from the sun) Venus and Earth have
been called "the twin planets." (2) In reality, the two planets radically differ. (3) Earth has climates ranging from
subfreezing to tropical. (4) Venus, however, has only one surface temperature: 864°F, hot enough to melt lead. (5) Nearly

most important difference between the two planets is this: Venus is devoid of life.
