But that may have been too hot for life to begin. If not, it probably did not last long enough for life to begin. Venus, nearly Earth's twin in size, has atmospheric pressure on the surface 90 times that of Earth. The temperature on the surface may be as high as 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, after Mercury.
Earth is third.
Mars is fourth. There are nine known major planets. The interplanetary space probe Magellan left Earth in 1989 to fall into orbit around Venus in 1990. It sent back a large volume of spectacular radar images that were used to create a detailed map of Earth's cloud-shrouded sister planet.
