Venus is the sixth largest planet. Its orbit is almost circular and varies only 1%. It has the most perfect orbit of all of the planets. It is the second planet from the sun. Also, Venus’ rotation is the slowest of all planets. It takes 243 Earth days for it to rotate.
The center of Venus is very similar to that of Earth. Its iron core is approximately 3000 kilometers in radius. The rest of the planet is made up of molten rock mantle. There is no tectonic plates as Earth does. There is evidence of recent volcanic activity on Venus.
