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.

Therefore it's surface is a barren wasteland.

What is venuss atmosphere made of?

Venus' atmosphere consists mostly of carbon dioxide, with clouds containing of sulfuric acid. There are also compounds of chlorine and fluoride.


What is Venuss temperature range?

Venus has an average surface temperature of about 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the hottest planet in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere, composed mainly of carbon dioxide, creates a runaway greenhouse effect, leading to extremely high temperatures. The temperature remains relatively consistent across the planet due to its slow rotation and dense atmosphere, ranging from about 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit) at the surface to slightly cooler temperatures at higher altitudes.
