Venus was the Roman goddess of love, erotic desire, and beauty.
Whose daughter she really is, nobody knows so exactly. Homer claims that she is the child of Zeus and Dione; Hesiod, on the other hand, thinks it was made from the foam of the sea (that is why it is also called the "foam-born").
Amor is in the Roman mythology of God and the personification of love and is a half-grown boy who with his arrows hits the heart and thereby the love is awakened.
