Venus (and Mercury) are closer to the Sun than Earth. This means that we can only safely observe these bodies when they are either side of the Sun which means that they appear as crescents in our telescopes.

Further Venus is covered in a thick layer of opaque clouded atmosphere which entirely obscures its solid surface.

What happened when early spacecrafts tried to land on venus?

Early spacecraft that attempted to land on Venus encountered extreme temperatures, pressure, and corrosive atmosphere that made it difficult for them to survive. The Russian Venera spacecrafts were the first to successfully land on Venus, but their missions were short-lived due to the harsh conditions on the planet's surface.


Are there any craters on Venus'?

Yes, Venus has many impact craters on its surface, but they are less common and less well-preserved compared to other planets like the Moon due to Venus's thick atmosphere, which burns up smaller meteoroids before they can reach the surface. Some of the largest craters on Venus are Mead, Cleopatra, and Airy.


What are some good questions about Venus?

Try these:What is the surface temperature of Venus?What corrosive material is a major component of the clouds of Venus?How long was the longest time a lander was able to function on the surface of Venus?What was the first country to land a functioning lander on Venus' surface?Why has Venus traditionally been called Earth's twin?Why is the crust of Venus so thin compared to Earth's crust?Why is the crust of Venus so much younger than Earth's crust?Why does Venus lack moons?Does it rain or snow on the surface of Venus?How long is one Venus year in Venus days?


Is Venus a land or gaseous planet?

Who is the first astronaut landed in planet venus?

As of yet, no astronauts have landed on Venus. It is unlikely that any human will actually land on Venus, simply because the conditions on the surface of the planet are too extreme: Venus has an average temperature of 464C, a crushing surface pressure of 92 bars, has virtually no water, and it's atmosphere is mainly composed of carbon dioxide (and no oxygen). Probes that have been sent to Venus didn't even last more than an hour on the surface of the planet, assuming that they weren't crushed by the atmosphere prior to landing.

Is there anybody who as ever landed on Venus?

No it is impossible to land on Venus because of the hot surface heat that Venus has and plus there's lots of volcanoes, storms and lightning so if you do land, it will probably destroy or kill whatlands on Venus.

Which planet has the largest land mass?

Venus. While other plants are larger than Venus, Venus technically has the largest land area. The four largest planets, which are far larger than Venus, do not have solid surfaces at all. The largest solid planet is Earth, but it is only slightly larger than Venus and most of its surface is covered in water.
