Fun fact about Venus

Answer 1

Some facts about Venus:

• Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and is usually the closest planet to Earth. Only Mercury is closer to the Sun.
• Venus is the planet with the hottest average surface temperature. It has a nearly uniform planet-wide surface temperature of about 460°C (860°F).
• Venus has the "greenhouse effect" so heat can come in but not out. Venus is always dry and windy, and it is always scorchingly hot.
• Venus is very close in size to the Earth, 95% of the Earth's radius.
• Venus takes longer to spin once (243 days) than it takes to orbit the Sun (225 days).
• Venus spins clockwise (meaning that the sun rises in the west and sets in the east).
• After the Sun and the Moon, Venus is the brightest thing in the sky.
• Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
• Venus has the most circular orbit of all the planets in our solar system.
• There is no known life on Venus.
• Venus has a thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide, about 3% nitrogen, and some sulfuric acid clouds.
• There is no liquid water on the surface.

• There are more volcanoes on Venus than any other planet in the solar system, because it lacks the plate tectonics that regularly change Earth's surface features. Most are not active now.
• Venus rotates so slowly that a day on Venus is longer than its year. The "solar day" created is about 117 Earth days. Which means that a "school day" on Venus would last almost four months!

The brightest of all planets, Venus, is also known as the Morning Star and the Evening Star. This planet is about the same size as Earth but is covered with impenetrable clouds of carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds. Radar mapping of the planet shows lots of craters and that 90% of the landforms are volcanic. Venus spins slowly retrograde (backwards, east to west) in 243 days and takes about 225 days to orbit the sun. This makes the solar day last about 117 Earth days. While it is bright there, the Sun is never visible from the surface. The "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere traps and distributes the heat, so that the whole planet has a surface temperature of 450° to 464° C. The pressure at the surface is more than 90 times the sea-level atmospheric pressure on Earth.
Venus is the brightest planet on the sky

Some more:

Venus rotates in the opposite direction to all the other planets, except

for Uranus. Also its rotation is the slowest of all the planets.

Venus has the highest temperatures found on any planet in our solar system.

This partly due to its very dense carbon dioxide atmosphere.

The atmosphere contains clouds of sulfuric acid.

Venus is covered by thich poisonious clouds.
Venus is the most biggest right
It takes 8 months for Venus to rotate once on its axis.

Answer 2

it has the slowest rotation in the solar system.

Answer 3

It is the only planet to start with a 'V'.

It sometimes disappears for a couple of months.

Answer 4

All the major landforms are named for goddesses. The two biggest are "Ishtar" and "Aphrodite" terras (both identified with Venus).

Answer 5

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system despite not being the closest to the Sun. This is because of its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a runaway greenhouse effect.

Answer 6

named after a female figure

Answer 7

2nd planet from the sun

Answer 8

Venus is one of the brightest planets.:-)
