<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Venus is the hottest planet of the solar system due to carbon dioxide, absence of tilt and retrograde rotation. Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to the Sun, and bulk composition. The largest of all the known volcanoes in the solar system, is Olympus Mons. Olympus Mons is a shield volcano 624 km in diameter, 25 km high, and is rimmed by a 6 km high scarp.
