The atmosphere of Venus was discovered in 1761 by a Russian called Mikhail Lomonosov.
Venus's atmosphere was first observed in 1790 by Johann Schröter
Venus hid it's interior secrets until the 20th century, when the development of spectroscopic, radar and ultraviolet observations showed more of its secrets.
It was not until the Russian Venera program, did scientist really find out what the atmosphere and temperature of Venus was really like.
Many Venera probes were sent to Venus, each time gathering a little bit more information. Most suffering from the immense pressure and heat. Some "died" on entry into the atmosphere another from the immense pressure One mission "failed" due to the melting of the "camera lens cap" due to the immense heat.

Yes. 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.
No. Venus is far too hot for water to exist on its surface.
No. The surface of Venus is far too hot and the atmosphere far too dense and corrosive.
Hawaii, Arizona, and Florida.
The clouds of Venus are considered noxious rather than non-toxic. They are largely comprised of sulfuric acid droplets. Carl Sagan, an American astronomer, discovered that the surface of Venus was noxious and very hot which was contrary to popular opinion at the time of the discovery.

Venus has, as determined by satellite probes, a surface temperature of 800 degrees , much too hot to sustain life as we know it.

very hot
I believe that an American mariner spacecraft discovered that the surface of Venus was hot. But what is the Americans name?
Probably not; the surface of Venus is extremely hot.
No. Venus is far too hot for water to exist on its surface.

Yes. A typical fire will produce temperatures comparable to the surface of Venus.
The main reason why the surface of Venus is so hot is due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat from the sun, creating a greenhouse effect.
No, Venus does not have frozen water on its surface. The surface temperatures on Venus are extremely hot, reaching up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius), which is hot enough to melt and evaporate any water present.
We would need extraordinary protection to survive and move about on the surface of Venus; it appears incredibly hostile to human life. We could only survive there with great difficulty, if at all, using current technology. Venus's surface is not only extremely hot, but also poisonous and crushed by high pressure. The clouds may afford a more survivable environment.
