Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun, but its surface is as hot or hotter than Mercury, which is even closer. The reason for this is that the thick atmosphere of Venus, while reflecting more than 60% of the sunlight that reaches it, also prevents infrared radiation (heat) from leaving.
This "greenhouse effect" traps heat in the atmosphere, increasing the planet-wide temperature of Venus to about 460°C (860°F), even at the poles and even at night. This is higher than the melting points of lead and zinc.
Most of the atmosphere is carbon dioxide, with about 3% nitrogen. The upper clouds on Venus are mostly sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid.
In a very hot, dry and a humid atmosphere - I'll say!Are they looking for a planet where that might happen? If so, it's Venus.
There are two planets that rotate clockwise, i.e. with retrograde motion; Venus and Uranus.
the closest planets to venus are earth and mecury
Venus is. Venus is the second planet outward from the sun, Mars is the fourth.
it is a planet and if you go to what does venus look like.com then it will probably tell you
Because Planet Venus is very near from the Sun. That's why it's hot.
Venus and Mercury, Venus is hotter though
Venus is the second planet from the sun. It is very hot there because of greenhouse gases.
No. Venus is very hot, with temperatures around 850 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yes, the planet Venus is all rocky land, just like the moon. But it is very very hot.
It makes it very hot, about 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
i believe Venus
venus
It is Venus.
It is very hot because of its very powerful "greenhouse effect".
Venus is a planet that is very hot and has sulfuric acid in its clouds. The thick atmosphere on Venus creates a strong greenhouse effect, trapping heat and leading to surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. The clouds on Venus are composed of sulfuric acid droplets.
Venus is very hot due to the heat trapping properties of its carbon dioxide rich atmosphere.
