Rate the following essay on its writing, argument, and language skills:
The author did alright at supporting his idea (studying Venus is a worthy pursiut despite the dangers). There are some things that the author explained well and others where he didn't defend his case. When reading this it will seem questionable if this is something to go off of.

When the author was explaining his thought on this he made a convincing argument. He told some simularitys between Venus and Earth. "Often referred to as Earths "twin", Venus is the closest planet to Earth in terms of density and size, and occasionally the closest in distance too." Venus and Earth are very alike in terms of aperance. The author uses a point that Venis is close to Earth that it makes it easier to travel there. "These differences in speed mean that sometimes we are closer to mars and other times to venus." Being closer to Venus would make the trip there easier then to most other planets.

There are also some things in this topic that the author doesn't go into. He tells you that it is dangerous to be on the planet. "On the planet's surface, temperatures average over 800 degrees fahrenheit, and the atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than what we experience on our own planet." This tells you it is not safe to be on Venus but to study it better we would need to get up there to know what it is like to be there and we don't know how to get there alive. Why would studying Venus be worthy if the atmosphere is dangerous? "A thick atmosphere of almost 97 percent carbon dioxide blankets Venus. Even more challenging are the clouds of highly corrosive sulfuric acid in venus's atmosphere." It doesn't seem that worthy of exploring if you can even survive on Venus.

there are good reasons and bad reasons for studying Venus. Overall the author did an ok job supporting his idea.
