The Planets(Venus)

Venus, as beautiful as your namesake.
Similar to Earth but oh so different.
Filled with carbon dioxide.
Your temperature is hotter than even Mercury.
Yet you lie twice as far away.
Brighter than the brightest star.
You go from being seen in the evening,
And soon become btter seen in the mornings.
Because you are so bright,
You are often mistaken for a UFO.
But you are Earth's twin and nothing more.
