What spacecraft or satellite have explored Venus?

Since the 1960s many spacecraft have been sent to Venus. Venera 1 through to Venera 16, were sent by the Soviet Union. They also sent Vega I and Vega II. The USA has sent Mariners 2, 5 and 10, two Pioneer craft and Magellan. In total about 13 probes have landed on the planet and the others have orbited it.

Why is it that women called as Venus?

In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. Women may be called "Venus" as a way to evoke the qualities associated with this goddess, such as grace, femininity, and attractiveness. It is a way to praise or highlight a woman's physical appearance or personality traits.

Carbon dioxide build up in your atmosphere for two reasons what is the best example of the prob?

The best example of carbon dioxide build up in the atmosphere is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas for energy production. Additionally, deforestation and land use changes also contribute to increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and climate change.

What mountain on Venus is named after a man?

Maxwell Montes is the tallest mountain on Venus, named after James Clerk Maxwell, a Scottish physicist. It stands 11 kilometers high and is about 540 kilometers across.

What is the difference between Earth Day and Earth Hour?

Earth Hour was started by the World Wildlife Fund in 2007 to raise awareness for global warming and the need for sustainability. It is a global event that takes place for one hour during the last Saturday of March and is observed by turning off all of one's lights for the duration of the hour.

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.

What is the rank of the terrestrial planets in order of density?

The rank of terrestrial planets in order of density from highest to lowest is Mercury, Earth, Venus, and Mars. Mercury has the highest density due to its large iron core, while Mars has the lowest density among the terrestrial planets.

Does Venus' have extinct volcanos?

Yes, extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that are cut off from their supply of lava. Some volcanoes look extinct but it might just be a long time since they've erupted. Many volcanoes may remain dormant for hundreds to thousands of years.

Like the Earth's moon Venus has?

a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction compared to its orbit around the Sun.

Most of the volcanoes on Venus are?

Most of the volcanoes on Venus are thought to be shield volcanoes, similar to those found on Earth's ocean floors. These volcanoes are characterized by broad, low-profile shapes formed by lava flows that spread out over large distances. Venus also has a few examples of stratovolcanoes, which are taller, steeper-sided volcanoes built up by alternating layers of lava and volcanic ash.

What is the brightest object in the northern sky?

Venus is one of the brightest it reflects 11x the amount the moon reflects

u can c venus around sunrise and sunset

There are no auroras on Venus because it?

does not have a magnetic field to trap solar wind particles and create the light display seen in auroras on Earth.

Which Mariner series of space probes was the first to visit another planet?

Mariner 10, launched on November 3, 1973, studied Mercury and Venus. After passing Venus in February, 1974, it did an extremely close fly-by of Mercury on March 29, 1974, passing within 437 miles (703 km) of the surface. It made two more flyby passes in September, 1974 and March, 1975. The third flyby was even closer than the first one, coming within 203 miles (327 km) of Mercury.

Unfortunately, the limited solar orbit of the probe meant that each of the three passes observed the same hemisphere of Mercury illuminated by the Sun. Only about 45% of the surface was photographically mapped.

The geography of Mercury will be extensively detailed by the new MESSENGER spacecraft, which has already flown by Mercury three times since its launch in 2004, and will begin orbiting the planet on March 18, 2011.

How are earth and Venus simalar?

Earth and Venus are both terrestrial planets with similar size, mass, and composition. They both have atmospheres, although Venus has a much thicker atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide. Both planets also have volcanoes and mountains on their surfaces.

What is Venus' color in space?

yellow and tan cuz the clouds are made of sulfuric acid

What ajectivs can you describe for Venus' atmosphere?

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. Because of 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 (over half a mile) under the ocean.

Is Venus a solid surface or gaseous planet?

Venus is a solid surface planet, with a rocky terrain covered in thick clouds of mostly carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. The dense atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect that results in extreme temperatures on the planet's surface.

How long can a person live on Venus?

A person could not live on the planet Venus. The planet has an atmosphere that is almost 100 percent carbon dioxide. It is also very hot on the planet with temperatures averaging about 860 degrees Fahrenheit.

Scientists are studying the greenhouse effect of which planet?

Scientists are studying the greenhouse effect primarily on Earth. The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming. Studying this effect helps researchers understand how human activities are impacting the climate system.

Why can Venus become like Earth?

Venus is sometimes referred as Earth's sister planet because their sizes, masses, dimensions are almost similar. But Venus doesn't have the conditions for beginning life on it and the requisite conditions are unsuitable for proper existence.

Has any astronauts ever visited venus?

No. The space shuttle was designed for low-Earth orbit, not travel between planets. Currently there are no manned spacecraft capable of interplanetary travel. Venus is much too hot for people to survive there

Where on the Earth are the lengths of days equal?

The lengths of days are equal at the equator. This is because the equator is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, where the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the plane of the equator. This results in roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness throughout the year.

What is bigger Venus' or Uranus?

Please define bigger.

If you mean which is more massive, Uranus is about 14.5 earths, compared to Venus which is 0.8 earths.

If you mean which takes up more space, Uranus is over 63 earths, compared to Venus, only 0.85 earths.

So in both cases, it's Uranus.

Why is earth's clouds white and Venus' clouds yelloe?

Actually it is multi-coloured. It just appears blue because we are more sensitive to that color.

The sky appears blue because ,as light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.

However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.
