Planet Venus

A year on Venus is 224 Earth days and a day is 243 Earth days.

This answer isn't bad, but remember the Solar day is "only" about 117

Earth days on Venus. I like the Solar day.

It takes Venus about 243 Earth days to rotate once and that's what is

called a Sidereal day.

Venus has a thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid. The atmospheric pressure on Venus is about 92 times that of Earth's sea level pressure, and the surface temperature can reach up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius) due to the intense greenhouse effect.

Venus' atmosphere consists almost entirely (96.5% - 97%) of carbon dioxide, with clouds containing droplets of sulfuric acid along with compounds of chlorine and fluorine.
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.

Consider our own planet Earth. The average temperature across planet Earth is 14°C; although it can get hotter than 50°C in summer in the hottest deserts. That's nothing compared to Venus.

On Venus, the average temperature is 460°C. That's also the maximum and the minimum. In other words, no matter where you go on Venus, the temperature is the same - night or day. The temperature at the poles is the same as at the equator.

Venus suffers from a runaway 'greenhouse effect' by the presence of huge quantities of carbon dioxide in it's massively dense atmosphere. It is closer to the Sun than the Earth and this exacerbates the problem. 8 Russian Venera space probes were crushed as they slowly descended into the atmosphere. The 9th succeeded but lasted 1 hour before it died of overheating.

Another reason why the temperature is the same everywhere is that Venus has a very small axial tilt. While the Earth is tilted 23 degrees compared to the Sun, Venus is only tilted 3 degrees.

The temperature does change with altitude; however. As you rise in altitude, the temperatures go down. In fact, there's a point in Venus above 50 km or so where the temperature and air pressure are roughly the same as we experience on Earth.

There are no cold locations on Venus. The entire planet, including the poles and even the night side, are practically the same temperature, thanks to the rapid movement of heat by the thick atmosphere. The surface is about 460°C (860° F), hot enough to melt lead.

However, as with other planets, the upper atmosphere of Venus is colder, a frigid -112°C about 100 kilometers from the surface (30 kilometers above the cloud tops). It can be as low as -173°C high above the night side of the planet.

The force of gravity at the surface of Venus is 8.87 meters per second per second, or 8.87 meters per second squared. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh approximately 91 pounds on Venus.

Newton's Law: g = Gm / r2 where g is the gravity and G is the gravitational constant for all things (6.67E-11) and m is the mass of the planet and r is the radius of the planet... plug in the numbers and you will get your answer. unit: m /s Newton's Law: g = Gm / r2 where g is the gravity and G is the gravitational constant for all things (6.67E-11) and m is the mass of the planet and r is the radius of the planet... plug in the numbers and you will get your answer. unit: m /s

The gravity of Venus is about 90% of that on Earth. this is confuzzing to me so go to nasa.com for a shorter more simple answer

An American Mariner spacecraft in 1962 flew past Venus, and discovered it seemed to have a very hot surface. A Soviet spacecraft, Venera, subsequently entered the atmosphere of Venus and found it was not only very hot, but was composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with sulfuric acid clouds.

These were of course both unmanned robots. A manned landing on Venus is VERY far in the future, given how bad the place is.

The spider-like feature on the surface of Venus is known as arachnoid terrain. It is a complex network of fractures and ridges that resemble a spider web, formed by tectonic processes such as extensional stress that have shaped Venus' surface over time.

Because of Venus's thick atmosphere the temperature doesn't really change much and because of this the temperature stays around 461oC
im doing i report on it and its day is 250 earth days so the nights are very long (120 days) and it can get as low as like -150 *C and as hot as 700 *C

Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is only the second hottest planet after Venus. Venus gets hotter as the thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat more effectively, while Mercury has no atmosphere. Venus is the second closest planet to our sun.

The diameter of Venus is 12,100 kilometers. This is 95 percent of the diameter of Earth. Both Venus and Earth are terrestrial planets.

To get to Venus in a modern space rocket would take about 2/3 of a year, or longer. The first dude to send a shuttle to Venus took a year and a half but they sucked with technology back then. However, I read that if you just floated through space to Venus, at around 2 miles per hour, it would still take around a year, because the gravity would carry you all over the place, and the first place it would pull you would be Venus. I dunno why

Venus spins counterclockwise and sometimes towards earth.

"we're hot so call us."

Not a very good answer we're hot ? whats with that? the real answer is so pose to be What is the direction of rotation of Venus answer( opposite)

OH and I have a smallworlds named Dustin O'Neal and yes im a boy....

It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is longer than a Venusian year, which is around 225 Earth days. Venus has a slow and retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun.

Venus appears yellowish-white in color due to its thick cloud cover of sulfuric acid. At times, it may also appear to have a reddish or orange hue depending on atmospheric conditions.

Romance: There are no bodies of water so you can go on LONG walks together. The only problem is that you'd need an environment suit built for two. Mountaineering: Venus has the highest known mountain in the solar system (Maxwell Montes) at 11000 metres. You can hike up the east side or climb the west face. Skiing: It is thought that the high radar reflectance of the higher altitudes is due to lead frost. If the frost is thick enough it should be possible to ski on it. Use klister. Kite flying: With an atmosphere 90 times denser than Earth's, you wouldn't need much of a kite even with a wind speed of only 3 kph. Human powered flight: The atmosphere is dense enough that you could fly by strapping wings onto your arms and flapping. Assuming that you could get your environment suit off the ground... Storm watching: Venus has lightening the way Persian cats have fur. The good news is that the temperature is so high that the sulphuric acid rain evaporates before it hits the surface, so you will stay dry. Hang gliding: From the top of Maxwell Montes I'm pretty sure you could hang glide for several hundred kilometres. Of course, with all the active volcanos you have to watch where you land. Outdoor concerts: The dense atmosphere should really give the bass some punch. The high frequencies would probably suffer, though. I'll bet the 1812 Overture would be really awesome.

Although New Zealand is very far from many places on Earth such as Europe or America, distances on Earth are tiny compared with distances in Space.

This is really the same question as asking how far Venus is from Earth.

Since Venus orbits faster than the Earth, it passes between Earth and the Sun every 584 days, at a distance that averages about 41.4 million kilometers (25.7 million miles).

However, about 10 months later, they would be at about their furthest separation, which is 257.8 million km (160 million miles).

No it does not. It has 2-3 sensor hairs in the trap so when an insect touches one, it closes but so it doesn't waste energy snapping whenever the hairs are touched because if a drop of water hits a hair it won't close two hairs must be touched or the same hair twice.

Venus got its name from the Roman name for the Greek goddess of love.

NO, it doesn't. it spins from east to west.
It spins in the opposite direction. Most planets (and other bodies) in this galaxy spin clockwise. Venus spins counter-clockwise.

Not many, considering that the Earth is larger than Venus.
