The atmosphere of Venus was discovered in 1761 by a Russian called Mikhail Lomonosov.

Venus's atmosphere was first observed in 1790 by Johann Schröter

Venus hid it's interior secrets until the 20th century, when the development of spectroscopic, radar and ultraviolet observations showed more of its secrets.

It was not until the Russian Venera program, did scientist really find out what the atmosphere and temperature of Venus was really like.

Many Venera probes were sent to Venus, each time gathering a little bit more information. Most suffering from the immense pressure and heat. Some "died" on entry into the atmosphere another from the immense pressure One mission "failed" due to the melting of the "camera lens cap" due to the immense heat.

An American spacecraft discovered that Venus was noxious and hot. This observation took place in 1962. A Soviet spacecraft named Venera later verified the existence of noxious sulfuric acid clouds. Mikhail Lomonosov discovered that the surface of Venus was noxious and hot. Mikhail Lomonosov was born in Denisovka, Archangelgorod Governorate, Russian Empire on November 19, 1711. He died on April 15, 1765.

Does venus have a Venus Flytrap?

Venus has, as determined by satellite probes, a surface temperature of 800 degrees , much too hot to sustain life as we know it.


Is Venus poisonous?

Yes. 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.
