Planet Venus

The 2nd planet from the Sun in our solar system. Excluding the moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky.

Planetary orbits that are more elliptical have a greater?

variation in distance between the planet and the sun over the course of its orbit, compared to more circular orbits. This can lead to more extreme temperature fluctuations on the planet's surface and potentially affect its climate.

Where does the sun set and rise on Venus?

Venus takes 243 days to spin on its axis relative to the background stars, while it takes 224.7 days to orbit the sun. Although its spin on its axis is longer that its orbital period, an apparent day is 116.75 days, since it spins in the other direction to Earth and most other planets.

For Venus, sunrise is in the west and then sets in the east some 58 days later - but you would not be able to see it through Venus' thich cloud cover.

Too many greenhouse gases would make earth similar to which planet?

Similar to Venus.

Venus has a very high surface temperature due to its greenhouse effect.

Its atmosphere contains 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), and its temperature is 460° Celsius, 850° Fahrenheit or 735° Kelvin.

What would happen if someone landed on Venus?

If someone were to land on Venus, they would experience extreme conditions, including scorching temperatures of around 870 degrees Fahrenheit (465 degrees Celsius), crushing atmospheric pressure around 92 times that of Earth, and sulfuric acid rain. It is unlikely that a human would survive for long on the surface of Venus without advanced protection.

What are the benefits on Venus?

The benefits of exploring Venus include gaining insights into planetary evolution and better understanding extreme conditions that could help us develop technology for future space exploration missions. Additionally, studying Venus can provide valuable information on the greenhouse effect and its implications for Earth's climate.

Does Venus have a source of water?

Venus is a hot and dry planet with no liquid water on its surface. Its high temperatures and runaway greenhouse effect have caused any water that may have once been on the planet to evaporate and escape into space. Although traces of water vapor have been detected in the atmosphere, there is no known source of liquid water on Venus.

What intrinsic property of Venus makes it very reflective of light?

Venus is very reflective of light because of its thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide. This atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect, causing a high percentage of incoming sunlight to be reflected back into space. This high albedo results in Venus appearing very bright from a distance.

For my homework i have to do a holiday broshure to Venus the planet and i need to have some ideas What could you do there?

You couldn't do much except look around, and then only from the protection of a very specialized landing craft. The average surface temperature is 460oc (860oF), hot enough to melt all plastics and some metals. The surface atmospheric pressure is nearly 100 times greater than Earth's, similar to what you would find at a depth of 1 km (3300 ft) in Earth's oceans. There is no oxygen or water in the atmosphere. The lower atmosphere is mainly Carbon Dioxide CO2, and the upper atmosphere is a constant thick cloud cover of mainly Sulfur Dioxide SO2 and Sulfuric Acid H2SO4, a runaway greenhouse effect. The rocky surface is rugged, with meteor craters, active volcanoes and lava flows. The surface of Venus is a fairly good approximation of the medieval concept of Hell.

Can living things survive on venus?

Venus is a deadly world where the surface temperature is hot enough to cook a meal in mere minutes! And with the atmosphere mostly carbon dioxide, it makes Venus a highly toxic place. No living thing would ever be able to survive on Venus.

What is Venuses origin name?

The word Venus came from a roman god or godess
Venus was the Roman goddess of love.

It is also the name of the planet second closest to the sun. It is located between our Earth and Mercury.

When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius what does the cloud consits almost entirely of?

When the temperature of a cloud is below -18 degrees Celsius, the cloud consists almost entirely of ice crystals. Water droplets freeze around condensation nuclei at these temperatures, forming ice crystals that make up the cloud.

Is Venus smaller or larger than earth?

Venus is slightly smaller than Earth in terms of both mass and diameter.

What is the different between Venus and the sun?

Venus rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth. The Sun rises in the West

and sets in the East. Of course you couldn't see this from the planet's surface

because of the atmosphere. Also the rotation is very slow at about 243

Earth days in length.

How long is an million miles?

5.376 light seconds.

1,609,344 kilometers

0.01 AU

Does venus affect mercurys orbit?

Venus's impact on Mercury's orbit is minor as the two planets are not gravitationally bound in a significant way. Any gravitational influence from Venus on Mercury is offset by the much more dominant gravitational pull of the Sun. Mercury's orbit is primarily determined by the Sun's gravitational force.

When did earth day go global?

Earth Day went global in 1990 when it was celebrated in 141 countries. This helped to raise awareness about environmental issues on a larger scale and promoted collective action to protect the planet.

Does venuses sun rise and set the same as earth?

No, it doesn't. On Earth, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every 24 hours (not exactly 24 hours, but close enough). On Venus, the sun would rise in the west and set in the east because it rotates in the opposite direction as Earth. On Venus, the sun would also rise approximately once every 8 months, because Venus rotates only 3 times every 2 Earth years.

What kind of atmosphere surrounds Venus?

The Venusian atmosphere supports clouds of sulfuric acid that are opaque from the exterior, making optical observation of the surface impossible.

The thick atmosphere is about 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with traces of the other elements such as sulfur. This atmosphere is translucent at the surface, but traps solar heat, making the surface extremely hot, about 460°C (860°F).

Does Venus's have living things on it?

No. Venus had too many Greenhouse Gases which makes it the hottest planet it our solar system even though it's not the closest one. And It does contain lack of oxygen. So, Any Living creature to live there would die because of the heat and lack of air.

What two planets are hottest and why?

The two hottest planets in our solar system are Venus and Mercury. Venus is the hottest due to its thick atmosphere that traps heat, creating a strong greenhouse effect. Mercury is the second hottest because of its proximity to the sun, although it has no atmosphere to retain the heat.

What did probes find on Venus?

Probes sent to Venus have found a thick atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, extreme surface temperatures exceeding 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 degrees Celsius), and evidence of past volcanic activity. Additionally, they have detected no signs of liquid water on the planet's surface.

What is Venus' environment?

Venus' environment is very harsh. It is primarily carbon dioxide with a little nitrogen thrown in. There is a runaway greenhouse effect, and the average temperature is actually hotter than Mercury. Above the carbon dioxide layers, there are clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Average temperature is 460 C, or 860 F.

The length of night for venus?

On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year, approximately 117 Earth days. Because Venus rotates very slowly on its axis, a day on Venus (sunrise to sunrise) is equivalent to 116.75 Earth days, which means that there is almost as much nighttime as daytime on Venus.

What are some geographic features of Venus?

Venus has no visible landmarks, due to its heavy carbon dioxide / nitrogen atmosphere with high clouds of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid. However, recent infrared and radar studies have revealed smooth volcanic plains with several large "continents" of volcanic rock rising from them.

What is the name of the Roman god of the blind or sight?

Themis, goddess of justice

Tyche (Τύχη), goddess of luck and blind faith, was blind. The Greek word for "luck" is also tyche (τύχη). She was known in Roman culture as Fortuna.
