The correct answer is Greenhouse and Earth.

Step-by-step explanation

The planet Venus is similar to Earth because both are considered terrestrial planets; they also have similar characteristics such as their composition, their mass, their relative density, and their gravity. One of the main characteristics of the planet Venus is its atmosphere, which is composed of carbon dioxide (approx. 96.5%), nitrogen (approx. 3.4724%) and other gases such as Argon, Sulfur Dioxide, Helium, Carbon Monoxide, Neon, Water vapor. Therefore, Venus experienced the greenhouse effect, a phenomenon in which the temperature of the atmosphere increases which occurs as a result of the concentration of gases in the atmosphere, mainly carbon dioxide. This process also happens on Earth, in which the thermal radiation emitted by the planetary surface is absorbed by greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and is radiated in all directions. Therefore, it can be said that the planet Venus also experiences the greenhouse effect like that of planet Earth. So, the correct answer is The process described above is known as the Greenhouse effect, and it also occurs on Earth.
