Best Answer

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.

Venus has hydrogen?

* 22% of Mercury's atmosphere is hydrogen. * Venus does not have pure hydrogen in its atmosphere, but does have hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. * Earth has almost no hydrogen. * Mars does not contain any significant amount of hydrogen in its atmosphere. * Jupiter's atmosphere is roughly 90% hydrogen! * Saturn's atmosphere has even more: about 97% is hydrogen! * Uranus' atmosphere is 83% hydrogen. * Neptune's atmosphere contains 74% hydrogen.


Are you sure humans can live on Venus'?

This is absolutely incorrect. Venus's carbon atmosphere is so thick and dense that temperatures on venus reach 464 degrees celcius, and many, many volcanic eruptions are occurring every second on venus. Since there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, it would be impossible for humans to breathe. Those are just some obvious reasons why venus is inhabitable to humans.

Does the planet Venus' have any stars?

If by that you mean: 'Does the planet Venus have any Moons', the answer is no. If you mean what you say, you need an astronomy coarse because if you could look through the atmosphere of Venus (which you cant because it is opaque) then the stars in its sky would be the same as those seen from Earth.

Why is Venus orange?

Venus appears in those colors for the same reason Earth looks blue and white: the contents of its atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, with a lot of water vapor. Venus's atmosphere is composed of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane (the same gas that's in farts =O ). The colors reflect the visible light spectrum due to these elements.


Why is the moon a good place to test if the affect on a object is to do with air resistance?

The moon, like most of the uiniverse, has no atmosphere and is almost pure vaccum. No air at all means that if aiir has an effect, the results of any experiment would be different than those on say Earth or Venus.
