The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.

The atmosphere of Venus is vastly different from Earth's in several ways. Venus has a very dense and thick atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of other gases like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen. It also has a runaway greenhouse effect, resulting in extreme temperatures of up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius). Additionally, its atmosphere has very high pressure, about 92 times that of Earth's.

How does Venus size and atmosphere compare to earth?
Venus is smaller than earth and its nearer to the sun so the atmosphere is hotter
How many miles thick is the atmosphere of Venus?
venus has thick posnis atmosphere
What is venus weather atmosphere?
Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths
What is the earths sisterplanet?
Venus is earths sister planet
Why is earths atmosphere so different from those of mars and Venus?
Venus' surface conditions are different because of the atmosphere that venus has. Its atmosphere is mostly Co2 which is a greenhouse gas. This greenhouse gas allows the suns warmth to penetrate to the surface, but is unable to reflect back out into space. Therefor The heat is trapped between the atmosphere and the surface. Because of this the surface temperature of the Venus is a sweltering 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
