Venus
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
Venus (or Sol II) is the second planet in the Sol system orbiting the Sun every 224.7 Earth days at a distance of 0.72 AUs. The planet is named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
Being a planet of extreme environmental conditions, the Venusian surface temperature reaches 735 Kelvin at a mean atmospheric pressure of 95 Bars.
Hugh Campbell wrote a story called "Venusian Chronicles" for the January 1953 issue of Incredible Tales magazine. (DS9: "Far Beyond the Stars")
Venus was seen on a map depicting the Sol system watched by Nomad. (TOS: "The Changeling")
In 2364, when the USS Enterprise-D crew was infected with polywater intoxication, an officer serving in the shuttlebay delivered an inappropriate limerick over the comm to other crewmembers involving a woman and Venus. Hearing this, Lieutenant Commander Data began to repeat the limerick, but was cut off by Captain Picard before completing it. (TNG: "The Naked Now")
In the 24th century, Venus had a number of terraforming stations on its surface. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part I")
In an alternate timeline, Miles O'Brien, while still in the 24th century, noted that the terraforming stations on Venus were gone, following the creation of an alternate timeline created when Benjamin Sisko, Jadzia Dax and Julian Bashir disrupted history after transporting to the 21st century.
During his early career, Chakotay spent a couple of months on Venus to learn how to pilot a starship in atmospheric storms. (VOY: "Future's End, Part II")
