I am Venus I'm the second planet from the sun And I'm the slowest rotating one Of all the planets in our solar system Now learn and have some fun 243 Earth days is how long it takes For me to orbit the sun; that makes just one of my days I'm 900 degrees - yeah, that's Fahrenheit I'm the hottest planet in our solar system, that's right The sun sets in my east and comes up in my west Due to retrograde rotation, I spin backwards the best I'm the third brightest object to the naked eye From the planet of Earth when you look up in the sky Carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds Is what makes up my atmosphere, and for this, I am very proud Volcanoes, mountains, craters, and some big lava plains Are what make up my bumpy surface and my clouds make no rain I was named Venus after the goddess of love The Romans gave me my name due to my brightness above
