14. What's so special about Venus? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Venus is the hottest of all planets because of the thick layer of clouds that blanket the planet. The orbit of Venus is the most circular of all the planets; and Venus is the only object, other than the Moon, that can be seen both in daytime and nighttime on Earth. For that reason, it is often called the morning star or evening star. At night, it is the brightest star-looking object in the sky. And on Venus one day is slightly longer than one year!
