Venus Pictures Gallery

From Nick Greene, for About.com

Venus has been called Earth's sister planet, since it's fairly close in size (95%), has a density and chemical composition, and has few craters, indicating a similar young age. This led many to believe that there might even be life hidden under the thick layer of clouds. This has since been proven to be impossible.
