What gas makes up most of the atmosphere of planet venus?
Venus is not made up of gas, but it does have a thick atmosphere. The main gas in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, at about 96%. There's some nitrogen (about 3.5%) and traces of other things.
How long are venus's days and years?
One interesting fact about Venus is that a day on Venus is actually longer than a year on Venus. A Venusian day lasts 243 days, and a year is 224 days. That means that the day on Venus is 19 days longer than the year.
Why do all planets have a day and night?
Day and night for planets refers to their period of rotation. All planets rotate and therefore all planets have day and night. On Earth day and night take 23hrs 56 minutes. On Jupiter day and night lasts for 9.8 (Earth) hrs. Venus and Mercury are interesting. One Venusian day/night lasts for 243 Earth Days which is actually longer than the Venusian year. A day/night on Mercury lasts for 58 Earth days which is about 2/3 year. I am glad I live on Earth!.
What planet has a poisonous atmosphere?
Venus does Venus is bigger than Mars, almost the same size as Earth. It is covered with a thick dried up lava crust. Venus does have an atmosphere, mostly made up of carbon dioxide (what we breathe out). There is also a thick poisonous cloud cover around Venus, made up of sulphuric acid droplets. Ouch! Venus is the hottest planet, because any heat that gets in to the surface is trapped by those poisonous clouds, like the heat in a greenhouse. Venus is the brightest object in the night sky (besides our moon), because the sun's light reflects really well off those thick acid clouds. A year on Venus is about 225 Earth days. Venus spins very slowly, having about 243 Earth days in one Venusian day. So, it takes longer for Venus to spin on its axis than for Venus to circle the sun!
Does Venus ever have sunny days?
Never. The surface of the planet is always covered by a very thick layer of clouds, mostly carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. Before the landing of a Soviet probe on Venus (Venera 9 in 1975), there was some debate over how much light there would be. As it turned out, the clouds let quite a bit of the light through, about the same as on a cloudy day on Earth. But this is diffuse light, and it would probably be impossible to tell where the Sun was in the Venusian sky.
Is nitrogen the principal gas in the Venusian atmosphere?
No. The principal gas of the Venusian atmosphere is carbon dioxide.
What is the principle gas in the vensusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmospheres of earth and mars?
There is no gas that fits this description. Carbon dioxide is about 95% of the Venusian atmosphere, but it's also about 95% of the atmosphere on Mars. Of course it's also a minor component of the atmosphere of the Earth too.
Is the principle gas in the Venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmosphere of earth and Mars?
There is a bit of confusion here. The Main gas of the atmosphere of Venus, carbon dioxide, is also the main gas of the atmosphere of Mars. This gas is a minor component of Earth's atmosphere.
On Venus the surface atmospheric pressure is about 90 earth atmospheres what is the Venusian atmospheric pressure in Kilopascals?
About 9.3 Megapascals
What is the principal gas in the venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmosphere of earth and mars?
Carbon dioxide. That's not quite right because carbon dioxide is about 95% of the atmosphere of Mars.
What is the difference between earths atmosphere and Venus?
Venusian atmospheric pressure is much greater than that of earth--IIRC about 90 bar of pressure vs only 1 for earth. (but on both density and pressure decline with increasing altitude.) 2. The venusian atmosphere is largely formed of CO, unlike that of earth. (but both have this gas) 3. The venusian atmosphere is much hotter than ours. (but both are warmed by the sun.) 4. The essential difference--the venusian atmosphere is not under biological control like ours is.
What is the venusian atmosphere composed of?
It is composed of a periodic mixture made with carbon dioxide in a greenhouse effect.
How many miles thick is the atmosphere of Venus?
venus has thick posnis atmosphere
When was Venusian Lullaby created?
Venusian Lullaby was created in 1994.
What color is the sky on Venus?
A Soviet spacecraft that landed on Venus showed the sky to be yellow in a picture but this is because of the sulferous clouds in the Venusian atmosphere.
What is venusian arts?
Venusian Arts is the Art of love, ask mystery.
Which planet is known as Veiled Planet?
Venus
