Venus Looks Lovely from Afar

One of the interesting facts about Venus is it appears to be the most lovely planet from afar, with lovely light in the sky. Venus seems brilliant and radiant in the sky due to its close proximity to the earth. Early astronomers were so moved by the seeming beauty of Earth's sister planet that they gave it the name Venus, after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

You would observe a plethora of mountains and deep craters, though, if you approached its surface. The number of volcanoes would also be in the hundreds, with sizes ranging from quite huge to quite small. Compared to other planets, it contains the most volcanoes. Volcanoes appear to have formed a large portion of Venus' surface. Venus has 167 big volcanoes that are above 100 kilometers in size, which is 167 times more than Earth (60 mi). One of the biggest is Sapas Mons. In forming their surface, the volcanoes are a significant factor.
