🇬🇧🇪🇸 Venus - Venus : English Lesson

Meaning of "Venus" ("Venus"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Venus is a planet in our solar system. It goes around the Sun just like Earth does. It is the second planet from the Sun, between Mercury and Earth, and it is the closest planet to Earth. Venus is covered with thick clouds, so we can’t see its surface easily. These clouds trap heat, making Venus extremely hot—hotter than an oven! From Earth, Venus can look very bright in the sky and is sometimes called the “morning star” or “evening star,” even though it is actually a planet, not a star.

Watch and listen to this English flashcard to understand the word in more detail, with an easy example sentence.

Late on the roof, Ana swept the sky with an old scope and gasped when Venus glowed like a small lamp. Venus hung low, close to Earth, a bright sister planet.
