Why Is Venus, despite Its Proximity to Earth, Less Explored than Mars?

Future Space

Have you ever wondered why we humans strive to go into space? We are on the brink of colonizing the Moon and Mars. But why don’t we actually explore Venus, even though it is much closer to Earth than Mars? The travel time to Venus would be much shorter with a favorable alignment, yet we only send a probe to Venus every 10 or 20 years.
