Do you know Venus (金星)? Of the eight planets, Venus is the nearest one to us. Venus was the Roman goddess(女神) of love and beauty. In Greek, her name was Aphrodite(维纳斯). Venus and the earth are almost the same size, and you would weigh almost the same on both planets. If you were 70 pounds on earth, you would be 63 pounds on Venus.

Venus is an “unfriendly” planet. Because of its thick cloud, you can't see the surface (表面). In many ways, Venus is like the earth. It has active volcanoes (火山), mountains and valleys, too. But Venus is too hot for life. It

has the hottest temperature of the planets in our solar system, about 480℃.Besides, the earth lets heat out through volcanoes, hot springs, but Venus lets heat out in a different way. Venus has no moons. Scientists call Venus the earth's sister planet because Venus and the earth are almost the same size.

When we talk about the space, we know the universe means the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and so on in space. Many of the stars are so far away that we cannot see them.

Through our geography lessons, we know the earth goes around the sun, and that the moon goes around the earth.

We have day and night because the earth keeps moving all the time. Just because the moon is closer to the earth than the sun, it looks much bigger than the sun.

The sun is bright enough to give out very strong light. The moon can't give out any light at all, but it looks quite bright, too. Why? In fact, the light from the moon comes from the sun. (1) But in fact the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon. (2)在宇宙中仍然有许多其他的行星。But of all these planets, only on the earth there are living things.

On November 3 and 14, 2011, Chinese scientists let Shenzhou Ⅷ successfully dock with(对接) the Tiangong-Ⅰ twice. This is one of the greatest events in the history of China's space. 根据短文内容回答问题。
