-Venus and Earth are often called twins because they are similar in size, mass, density, composition and gravity. However, the similarities end there.-Venus is Terrestrial-Venus is a small rocky planet, which is covered by lava flows and has several volcanoes

How Venus Affects Earth

the surface gravity on Venus is almost the same as the surface gravity on Earth. The surface gravity on Venus is about 91% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 91 pounds on Venus.
