Question

Explain why planet venus is called the morning star and also earth's twin

Open in App
Solution

Dear Student,
Venus is called the Earth's Twin because it is almost exactly like Earth in shape and size. But where Earth has a nurturing atmosphere, Venus' atmosphere is made up of Carbon dioxide which traps sunlight and produces a greenhouse effect on the planet. This trapped sunlight makes the planet glow hence it's known as the Evening Star.
