VENUS The diameter of Venus is 12,092 km (only 650 km less than the Earth's) and its mass is 81.5% of the Earth's With a mean surface temperature of 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus is by far the hottest planet in the Solar System. Characteristics Venus is the second planet from the Sun. . It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Earth's "sister planet" Venus is always brighter than any star The greatest luminosity, apparent magnitude −4.9, occurs during crescent phase when it is near the Earth.
