Venus is the second planet from the Sun orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. After the Moon it is the brightest natural object in the night sky reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6 bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°.
