The planet named after the Roman god of love is Venus. In Roman mythology, Venus is revered as the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. As the second planet from the Sun, Venus is similar in size and structure to Earth, often referred to as Earth's "sister planet." However, its dense atmosphere and extreme greenhouse effect lead to surface temperatures soaring above 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), making it one of the hottest planets in the solar system. Venus is also known for its bright appearance in the sky, often referred to as the "Evening Star" or "Morning Star."
