When did pioneer venus land on Venus?
Pioneer Venus was actually a pair of probes. Pioneer Venus 1 was an orbiter, while Pioneer Venus 2 contained a large surface probe and three smaller probes. The orbiter arrive…d at Venus on December 4, 1978. The probes entered the atmosphere on December 9, 1978. All of the probes returned data from the atmosphere, but only 1 (one of the small probes) transmitted after impact. The USSR (Russia) had already retrieved telemetry from the surface as early as their Venera 7 probe on December 15, 1970. Venera 9 returned the first photos from the surface on October 22, 1975. These larger Soviet landers had been hardened against the immense pressure and intense heat. The pressure at the surface is 93 times as much at sea level on Earth, and the average temperature is 460°C (860°F). (MORE)

What does Venus have on it?
Venus is volcanic, although it seems that the activity greatly subsided several hundred million years ago. There are several "continents" arising from the smooth volcanic plai…ns, one of which is about the size of South America, with another one about the size of Australia. There are nearly 1000 impact craters, with about 85% of them in pristine condition, giving credence to the theory that volcanism has subsided. (MORE)

Why is Venus named after the god Venus?
Actually, it's named after a goddess, not a god. It's the only planet named after a goddess. Thousands of years ago the Romans looked to the sky and saw Venus. They thought it… was a star, a very beautiful one. So they named it after their goddess of beauty and love. Hope this helps. :) (MORE)

Do Venus Flytraps live on Venus?
The Venus flytrap is found natively only in North and South Carolina in the United States. The carnivorous adaptations of the Venus flytrap allow it to thriv…e in environments poor in nitrogen and phosphorus, such as bogs and wet savannahs, and survives in wet sandy and peaty soils. The Venus flytrap requires a mild winter where it has a dormant period. There are hundreds of other species of carnivorous plants, some of which can be found in rain forests. (MORE)

What landforms does Venus have?
The planet Venus has no liquid water, so the surface is hot, dry, and rocky, marked by lava flows and some volcanoes, and relatively few impact craters. Many of what appear to… be craters are actually unique volcanic features such as: farra - flat-topped mesas novae - star-shaped radial features coronae - ring-shaped features thought to be caused by the rise and collapse of a subsurface dome of heated material arachnoids - spider-web designs (MORE)
