Like Aphrodite, she has a heavenly body (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

venus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

I believe this is a triple definition!

'like aphrodite' is the first definition.
'Venus' can be an answer for 'aphrodite' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'like' bit.

'she' is the second definition.

'has' acts as a link.

'a heavenly body' is the third definition.
(I know that Venus is a terrestrial planet)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for venus that I've seen before include "One of the planets" , "Aggrieved, peeved" , "Planet; goddess" , "Next planet in" , "our Neighbour" .)
