Considering a 30% albedo, 70% liquid oceans and almost the exact size of earth. What would the temperature be ona hypothetical second planet from the sun? Is Venus even in the habitable zone for Sol?

Assuming an earthlike atmosphere and CO2 level, about 330 Kelvin / 125 Fahrenheit.

Is Venus even in the habitable zone for Sol?

Opinions vary. Most astronomers don't think so.
