Planet Venus

Venus does not go around the Moon; it orbits the Sun. Venus takes about 225 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.

Pluto's orbit is highly eccentric. When Pluto is at its minimum distance form the Sun, sunlight takes about 14800 seconds to reach it (just over 4 hours). At its maximum, the light takes about 24600 seconds (nearly 7 hours).

Venus rises heliacaly when reaching arcus visionis between 5.3 and 6.0 degrees.

(Arcus visionis is the altitude of the Sun below horizon when Venus is exactly on the horizon).

Because Venus is bright and its brightness is stable, the heliacal rise of Venus can be computed easily. Something that cannot be said for the other planets and stars. The last systematic (and published) observations of heliacal risings were made 2000 years ago in Mesopotamia!

There are several theoretical algorithms for computing the heliacal phenomena, but none of them is reliable because of the lack of observations.

This is soon to be changed.

More on the heliacal phenomena, their computation and real first-hand observations can be found by clicking the 'Related link' below.

There are no known inhabitants of the planet Venus, human or otherwise.

The orbit of Venus is nearly circular, about 108 million kilometers from the Sun. This is only 2/3 the distance of Earth, so with a much shorter path, the planet takes only about 225 Earth days to complete an orbit.

The greenhouse effect on Venus has caused extreme temperatures of over 860 degrees Fahrenheit (460 degrees Celsius) due to the thick atmosphere trapping heat. This has led to a runaway greenhouse effect, where the high temperatures have caused the surface to be inhospitable and covered in dense clouds of sulfuric acid.

It is not possible to give a definitive answer to this question. All the planets orbit the Sun at different speeds. As a result the distance between any two planets is constantly changing and actual distances can vary a lot.

It's been known since the 18th century that when Venus moves in front of the sun, then translucent fringes can be seen around the planet from which it was suggested that Venus had an atmosphere.

Robot ships have entered the Venusian atmosphere several times and we now know the composition and density of the atmosphere (it's mainly carbon dioxide).

the atmospheric pressure on the surface of venus is very unknown but i am the scientist that knows all haha lol but really it is 90 degrees fahneiht

No. Photos taken from the surface reveal a barren, apparently lifeless surface. Before much was known about Venus its surface was covered in forests, oceans and swamps, was a popular idea. As appart from its proximity to the Sun and thick cloud-layer there was little to distinguish it from Earth (at least as far as 19th century astronomers could see)

88% of what it is here ; so 28.2 feet /sec 2

Venus is hotter than Mercury because its atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide, which traps the heat. The average temperature of Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 300 degrees hotter than Mercury.

Venus is hotter than Mercury, with an average surface temperature of about 467°C compared to Mercury's average surface temperature of about 167°C. This is due to Venus' thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which creates a greenhouse effect that traps heat and raises temperatures to extreme levels.

around 108208930 km. But it changes as venus orbits the sun.

Venus has a diameter of about 12,104 kilometers and a mass of about 4.87 x 10^24 kilograms. Its average distance from the Sun is about 108 million kilometers, and its average surface temperature is around 467 degrees Celsius.

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.

Earth has oxygen-rich atmosphere primarily due to the process of photosynthesis performed by plants and other organisms. Mars and Venus, on the other hand, do not have significant amounts of oxygen in their atmosphere due to different geological and atmospheric compositions that do not support the production or retention of oxygen in the same way as Earth.

The Sun heats the atmosphere of Venus up tremendously due to an out-of-control greenhouse effect. The average temperature on Venus is 460 C, or 860 F. The surface temperature of Venus is actually higher than that of Mercury.

The Sun would appear about 1/3 smaller from Venus compared to how it appears from Earth. This is because Venus is closer to the Sun than Earth, so its diameter is larger in the sky when viewed from Venus.

Venus is one of the "Inner" planets, along with Mercury, Earth and Mars. The "Outer" planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (which has recently been stripped of it's true "planet" status!)

Inner planets are also known as "Terrestrial Planets" because they have a rocky surface. The difference between inner and outer planets is there location within or beyond the asteroid belt. Of course, inner planets are within the belt, while the outer ones are beyond the belt.

Astronauts would search for signs of past or present life, study the planet's atmosphere and climate, and investigate the possibility of establishing future human settlements. They would also conduct research to better understand Venus' geology and volcanic activity.

Venus rotates on its axis very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one rotation. However, it orbits the Sun relatively quickly, completing one revolution around the Sun in about 225 Earth days. This means that a day on Venus (one rotation on its axis) is actually longer than a year on Venus (one revolution around the Sun).

It depends on where Venus is in its orbit relative to Earth. At its closest, Venus is closer to Earth and the moon than it is to the sun. The distance between Venus and the sun does not change significantly, but its distance to Earth does; at times it may be directly between Earth and the sun, while at other times it may be on the other side of the sun.

In Roman mythology, Venus (the goddess of love and beauty) was born from the sea foam that formed after the castration of Uranus. She did not have a traditional mother, as she emerged fully formed from the sea.
