How is Venus different to earth?
Answer:
Venus is different to planet earth in quite profound ways. We focus, being alive, on the fact that Venus could surely not support life. This focuses us in on some massive differences between the two planets.
First, up, Venus rotates extremely slowly compared to earth.
It also has a magnetic field that is almost non-existent - not good for life! Of course, the temperature means it is so dry and there is hardly any water.
There is extreme pressure on the surface and temperature, and the atmosphere is very dense with a run away greenhouse effect.
