Best Answer

The surface of Venus, as seen from the Soviet Veneralanders, is a desolate collection of reddish rock chunks, plates, and dust. The color is likely oxidized iron (rust). The landscape consists almost entirely of dry, barren, desolate lava plains with various volcanic plateaus and ridges.
From the outside, all we see are the highly-reflective grayish clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, which obscure the surface from view. From below, no one has ever seen, although there are photographs of the surface sent back by the Russian Venera landers.

The atmosphere is hellishly hot (460°C or 860°F) and crushingly dense.

From Earth, Venus appears mostly gray, although slightly yellowish, brown or blue under various circumstances.Once beneath the clouds, Venus is a dimly lit landscape of dry, barren rocks, and most of the landforms are various types of volcanic mountains and plateaus.*For pictures of Venus, see the related links below.It looks like part of a featureless white disk.
