Unlike most other planets, Venus can be seen from Earths surface with the naked eye. Only the moon burns brighter in the night sky. Readers will learn why Venuss thick clouds help make the planet so hot and why its days last so long. They will also get an up-close look at Venuss remarkable land features and find out how scientists have studied the harsh surface of the planet.
