Detailed explanation-1: -Venus is similar to the Earth in its shape and size because of which Venus is known as ‘Earth’s twin’. Both of these planets have a similar surface composition and a similar atmosphere with a complex weather system. They also have the same mass i.e they weigh the same and are also neighboring planets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Venus is often called “Earth’s twin” because they’re similar in size and structure, but Venus has extreme surface heat and a dense, toxic atmosphere. If the Sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth and Venus would each be about the size of a nickel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Venus is often referred to as our sister planet because of similarities in size, mass, density and volume. It is believed that both planets share a common origin forming at the same time out of a condensing nebulosity around 4.5 billion years ago. There the similarities end.
Detailed explanation-4: -Size, Mass and Orbit: Whereas Earth has a mean radius of 6, 371 km and a mass 5, 972, 370, 000 quadrillion kg, Venus has a mean radius of about 6, 052 km and a mass of 4, 867, 500, 000 quadrillion kg. This means that Venus is roughly 0.9499 the size of Earth and 0.815 as massive.
