1 Venus, one of the planets in the solar system, is the second in distance from the Sun. Except for the Sun and the Moon, Venus is the brightest object in the sky. The planet is called the morning star when it appears in the east at sunrise, and the evening star when it is in the west at sunset. Venus is never visible more than three hours before sunrise and three hours after sunset. The surface temperature is the hottest of any planet - about 477C.
2 Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is the fourth brightest object in Earth’s sky, after the Sun, the Moon, and Venus. The Romans named the planet for their chief god, Jupiter, because of its prominence in the sky. Jupiter is a ball of gas and has no solid surface.
