All three of these planets are rocky in nature and are part of the inner solar system, meaning that they are in between the sun and the asteroid belt. Venus’ atmosphere is almost entirely composed of carbon dioxide. Usually, the appearance of sky depends on various factors like composition of atmosphere, density of atmosphere, the intensity of light entering, the intensity of scattering of light,etc.

Scientists call them superhabitable planets. They’re worlds that could sustain life more than five times longer than Earth, and while we haven’t found one for sure yet, there might be billions of them lurking in our galaxy alone.
