Venus - our planetary neighbour
Named after the Roman goddess of love, Aphrodite, Venus is the second planet as measured from the Sun and Earth's nearest neighbour. As Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth, it always appears in approximately the same direction from Earth as the Sun, so on Earth it can usually only be seen a few hours before sunrise or a few hours after sunset.
