What characteristics do Earth and Venus share?
A
They rotate in the same direction
B
They are both similar size and density
C
They have the same gases in their atmospheres
D
They were born at the same time
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Venus is sometimes called Earth’s twin because Venus and Earth are almost the same size, have about the same mass (they weigh about the same), and have a very similar composition (are made of the same material). They are also neighboring planets.

Detailed explanation-3: -The similarities to Earth in size and mass produce a similarity in density-5.24 grams per cubic centimetre for Venus, compared with 5.52 for Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Density, mass, and volume Venus is a rocky, terrestrial planet like Earth, and likely formed the same way at the same time. It has a mass of 4.87 trillion trillion kilograms, about 82 percent that of its sister planet. Like its size, its density is comparable to Earth at 5.243 grams per cubic centimeter.
