thanks....now I got 2 similarities but no differences
From the above web site.
A comparison of terrestrial planets
VENUS COMPARED TO EARTH
Venus, Mars and Earth, three out of the four inner or ‘rocky’ planets of the Solar System, have a lot in common – a solid surface you could walk on, a comparable surface composition, an atmosphere and a weather system.
If you are looking for a twin sister to Earth, that would be Venus... or is it?

yes I know I can read that but I don't see any things that make them diffenernt
-Earth has 1 moon while Venus has none - Earth is able to support life while Venus is not
- it takes earth 224.7 days to orbit and 365.2 days for Venus
-Venus is closer to the sun
Hope it helped :3

Thx nobody that helps a lot
