    It just amazing to me the immense different in size. I know one is a gas giant but dwarf/tiny/ does not come close to describing the size of Venus in comparison.

    Agreed, the size difference is even more impressive when you consider that Venus is 26 million miles from Earth and 67 million miles from the Sun. Approximately 1,443,000 Venus's would fit in the sun.

    It was cloudy and rainy here all day yesterday. Some I'm really glad you posted some pictures so I could see what I missed.
