What is the temp for Mercury at day and night?
During the day, temperatures on Mercury can reach up to around 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius) due to its proximity to the Sun. At night, temperatures can drop drastically to around -290 degrees Fahrenheit (-179 degrees Celsius) as there is no atmosphere to retain heat.
What is Venus scientific name?
Planet Venus doesn't has any scientific name.
(Its just Venus because its named after the Greek goddess of beauty, and gods don't have any scientific names.. :P)
You can use the systematic name which is 'Sol II'. (But it is only used in fiction)
How does Venus travel through space?
The planet Venus travels through space in a counter-clockwise orbit around the Sun, which is the same as all of the other major planets. The unusual thing about Venus is that it does not spin (rotate) in the same manner as other planets. It spins extremely slowly in a clockwise direction (as seen from above) rather than counter-clockwise as would be expected. Scientists theorize that a collision with some planet-sized object early in its existence negated the normal spin of the planet.
(*The planet Uranus is sometimes said to spin clockwise, but this is because it was knocked onto its side, and is angled by more than 90 degrees from its orbital plane. It is still spinning in the direction that it initially spun.)
What is the range atmosphere of Venus'?
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.
What process does Venus go through?
Venus goes through phases, similar to the Moon, as it orbits the Sun. It transitions from crescent to full and back to crescent as it moves between the Earth and the Sun in its orbit. Additionally, Venus experiences extreme temperatures due to its thick atmosphere, trapping heat and making it the hottest planet in our solar system.
Nearer the sun mars or Venus's?
Venus is closer to the Sun than Mars. Venus is the second planet from the Sun, while Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
Is it true that Venus is covered with a thick layer of clouds?
Venus has one of the densest atmospheres in the Solar System. It consists of carbon dioxide with a tiny bit of nitrogen. The clouds are made up of sulfur dioxide. This means Venus also suffers from the strongest greenhouse effect in the Solar System.
Why is mercury not hotter then Venus?
Mercury is less hotter than Venus because it has a thin atmosphere and the heat that is attracted during day time goes away at night and the temperature becomes -170 degrees while Venus has a thick atmosphere and does not allow heat to pass.
How long would it take to get a message to Venus?
It takes about 2-7 minutes for a message to travel from Earth to Venus, depending on the positions of the two planets in their orbits. This communication delay is due to the vast distance between the two planets, which can vary from 24 million miles to 162 million miles.
What is the size of the sun compared to Venus?
lets just say that Jupiter is a Speck compared to the Sun and its the largest Planet!
Can the planet venus. burn wood?
No, Venus cannot burn wood because fire requires oxygen, and Venus has a very thick atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide, which would not support combustion. Additionally, Venus is extremely hot on its surface, with temperatures high enough to melt lead, which would make it impossible for wood to burn.
What planet is first Venus or Mercury?
Most of the planets were formed about the same time so we can cannot yet answer that question.
Does Pluto feature the runaway greenhouse effect?
Yes.
(Another contributor writes:)
It has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide that is thought to be a runaway greenhouse effect. Its average surface pressure due to the thick atmosphere is 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earth's. It is also the hottest planet, with surface temperatures averaging around 460°C (860°F).
Yes it does, so hot that it has boiled its oceans dry.
A morning star is a weapon that consists of a spiked ball at the end of a chain or handle, used for striking an opponent. It is swung to create momentum and then used to deliver powerful attacks by hitting the target with the spiked ball. It requires agility and skill to wield effectively in combat.
Do Venus have the most volcanoes?
In our solar system three planets (including Earth) and one moon have volcanoes. Planets outside our solar system are too far away to observe, but one similar to Earth probably have volcanoes too.
How many hours does it take Venus to spin once?
It takes about 243 of our days for Venus to do one rotation. That is about 5,832 hours.
Did Venus have any life forms on it?
The venus flytrap, the plant, is a living thing.Venus, the planet, is not.
How many times greater is the radius of earth compared to Venus?
The radius of Earth is about 0.95 times greater than the radius of Venus.
What is venus conposition 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. 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.
Does Venus have 1 hour of sunlight every 7 years?
No. Half of the planet would be in sunlight (day) while the other half would be in darkness (night), just like the Earth, with the exception of its rotational speed, which is about once every 243 Earth days, instead of Earth's 24 hours.
Would your mass change on the sun?
Yes.
Because the size of the Sun is larger than the size of the Earth. This means that if you went to the Sun your mass would change due to the different pulls of gravity and the different atmospheres.
How far away is Venus from Pluto?
The closest the two planets ever get is in excess of 17 AU (2,543,166,000 km). Pluto's orbit slips "inside" Neptune's, but the orbital path of the one does not actually cross that of the other. As regards proximity, Pluto actually passes closer to Uranus (11 AU) at its closest than it does to Neptune.
Yes, Venus has a solid surface; its terrain is rocky, with volcanic plains, mountains, and vast plains. The surface is primarily covered in volcanic rocks and large impact craters.
