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.

Is Venus made of rock?

Yes, Venus is primarily composed of rock. Its composition is mainly made up of silicate rocks similar to those found on Earth. Venus's surface is covered in volcanic plains, mountains, and other rocky features.


How can the surface of Venus' be observed with?

The surface of Venus can be observed using radar imaging from spacecraft orbiting the planet. Radar can penetrate through the thick clouds covering Venus and provide detailed images of its surface features. This method has been used by missions like NASA's Magellan spacecraft to map the surface of Venus.


Is venus made with fire?

No, Venus is not made of fire. Venus is a rocky planet similar to Earth, with a thick atmosphere comprised mainly of carbon dioxide and clouds of sulfuric acid. Although it has a very hot surface due to its greenhouse effect, it is not composed of fire.


Is Venus solid?

Venus is primarily a rocky planet with a solid surface made up of basalt and granite. The high surface temperature and pressure result in a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide and clouds of sulfuric acid.


What is made venus?

The surface of Venus is a thick crust of dried up volcanic lava. Most of the minerals are apparently similar to Earth's, but with very few hydrogen compounds. About 2/3 of the surface is low, rolling mountains and the rest is highlands. Venus had thousands of volcanoes! Imagine the hottest desert you can think of... and multiply it by a 100. Venus is way worse! Venus' atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide (this is what we breathe out) and the rest is mostly nitrogen. There is a very thick layer of poisonous clouds that cover the entire planet at medium altitudes. These clouds are made up of sulfuric acid droplets. (The clouds on earth are made up of water droplets.) It's believed that Venus has an iron core just like the earth.
