The planet Venus is about the same size as the Earth. Before explorations made by spacecraft made it clear just how harsh conditions on Venus are, science-fiction writers used to speculate that the temperature and climate of Venus might be within the range of life as we know it on Earth. Many science-fiction stories have been set on Venus. [[C. S. Lewis]]' novel ''Perelandra'' which takes place on Venus, and is a retelling of the story of the Garden of Eden.
