Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is classified as a terrestrial planet. It is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" due to their similar size, gravity, and bulk composition (Venus is both the closest planet to Earth and the planet closest in size to Earth). The surface of Venus is covered by a dense atmosphere and presents clear evidence of former violent volcanic activity. It has shield and composite volcanoes similar to those found on Earth.

Valles

Cytherean valleys are called by the Latin term valles, and are named after river goddesses or after words for the planet Venus (including terms for the morning star or evening star specifically) in various languages.
