Venus is very similar to Earth in size and mass - and so is sometimes referred to as Earth's sister planet - but Venus has a quite different climate. Venus' thick clouds and closeness to the Sun (only Mercury is closer) make it the hottest planet - much hotter than the Earth.
(Text courtesy NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day for 16 May 2004)
In the Fennish perception, Venus is associated with the Senshi - the capital and largest city of Venus is Crystal Tokyo, and the local women's clothing stores all make a profit selling leotards and short skirts. But the planet is also home to other "grrl power" fandoms.
Rumours that some classically-inclined Fen plan to move asteroid 2002 VE68 from its Cytherean quasi-orbit into a true Cytherean orbit and rename it Neith are, so far, only rumours.
