The distance from
Venus to the Sun is 67
million miles.
Venus' diameter is
7,520.8 miles.
Venus' complete orbit
around the sun takes
225 earth days. Less
than a year for us.
Venus'
temperature is about
864 degrees F
The United States,
Soviet Union, and
European
Space Agency have
deployed more than 20
spacecraft's
to Venus. Including
Mariner 2,
Venera 7, and Venera
9.
Venera 9 returned the first photographs
of the Venusian surface.
The atmosphere of
Venus is 96.5
carbon dioxide, 3.5
nitrogen, with
minor amounts of
sulfur dioxide,
argon, water,carbon
monoxide, helium
and neon.
Venus has many layers
of clouds made
of sulfuric acid. Venus
is the hottest planet in
the solar system.
The surface of Venus
is extremely dry. With
no liquid water.
Venus is mostly flat
plains with thousands
of volcanos. With
lava that flows
in long canals.
• Even though Mercury is closer to the Sun Venus is
Hottest because it is mostly made up of carbon dioxide,
which is the primary green house gas. The solar heat
enter but can't leave. Basically making Venus an oven.
Venus has a similar
gravitational pull to
Earth.
Earth's gravitational
pull is 9.8 m/s
squared, while
Venus' is 8.87 m/s
squared.
Galileo Galilei was
the first astronomer
to discover Venus.
Galileo discovered
Venus in 1610 He
found out that
Venus goes through
phases like the
moon which helped
support the theory
where planets orbit
the Sun
Venus is known as the planet named after the
goddess of love Aphrodite.
Venus has been
known throughout
history as the
brightest planet.
Venus and Earth are
often called twins
because they are
similar in size,
gravity, mass,
and density.
