Earth’s twin

Around 4.5 billion years ago, our solar system finally settled as we know it today. What this means is that there were quite a few planets that were relocating from one place to another. Venus was formed when swirling gas and dust was pulled by gravity. Venus is a “terrestrial planet” and, therefore, has a central core, a rocky mantle and a solid crust. Earth and Venus share similar gravity, composition, density, mass, and size.
