Why is Venus orange?

Answer 1

Venus appears in those colors for the same reason Earth looks blue and white: the contents of its atmosphere. Earth's atmosphere is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, with a lot of water vapor. Venus's atmosphere is composed of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane (the same gas that's in farts =O ). The colors reflect the visible light spectrum due to these elements.

Answer 2

We don't actually know what colour Venus is because it's so bright. Venus' clouds appear white-orange, but the surface is most likely to be shades of red and orange, occasionally yellow. Why? Because there is so much heat down at the surface and there is a high level of Sulfur in the atmosphere. A probe was sent down to Venus' surface yet didn't make it because it melted.

Answer 3

Venus appears orange at certain times due to the scattering of sunlight in its thick atmosphere. This scattering causes shorter wavelengths of light, such as blue and violet, to be absorbed, while longer wavelengths, like red and orange, are scattered and reflected. The combination of this scattering effect and the presence of sulfuric acid clouds on Venus gives it an orange hue when viewed from Earth.

Answer 4

Venus is the 2nd planet in the solar system. Yellowish-white is the color of Venus because of its sulfur dioxide cloud that is opaque.

Answer 5

because it is
