The air on Venus is not the kind of air that you could breathe, because there is no oxygen in it. The composition is almost entirely carbon dioxide, with about 3.5% nitrogen and a small amount of sulfur.
At the surface, the pressure is 92 times the sea-level pressure on Earth, which would crush humans. The average temperature is incredibly hot, about 460°C (860°F).

∙ 11y agoThe thick atmosphere is almost entirely carbon dioxide, at a crushing pressure 93 times as at sea level on Earth. The average temperature is 460°C (860° F, hot enough to melt lead) planet-wide and even at night, because this heat is carried around the planet. There is no oxygen and no liquid water, and only the smallest trace of water vapor. There is no vegetation or other forms of life.
Venus's surface is a dry, reddish, rocky desert with many slab-like rocks, and the lava plains are periodically refreshed by volcanism. Although there are innumerable volcanic landforms on the planet, only a small number of volcanoes are currently active. They tend to be short, no more than 1.5 kilometers (5000 feet) high, and generally wider than volcanoes found on Earth.

∙ 12y agoVenus is the hottest planet, with average surface temperatures of 460°C (860°F).
Venus also has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths. Venus takes a long time to rotate on its axis, so an apparent day lasts a long time. It also spins in the opposite way to earth, so the sun would eventually set in the East rather than the west.
