The PlanetVenus:
If you are up before the Sun in the morning (if not, set the clock for
6 a.m. and get up), have a look at the sky in the east. Blazing brighter
than anything else is our closest planet, Venus.
Venus is so bright it is known to cast shadows and some people have
reported it as a U.F.O. not knowing what it was.
Venus is almost as big as Earth. Its carbone dioxide atmosphere causes
Venus to be very hot, about 700 degrees Fahrenheit. No life form as we
know there. The clouds surrounding the planet reflects the Sun's light
very well and makes it appear very bright to us.
Have a look, you can't miss it!
