Planet Venus and Earth are often called twins because they are similar in size‚ mass‚ density‚ composition and gravity. However‚ the similarities end there. [Photos of Venus‚ the Mysterious Planet Next Door] Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun‚ its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms up the Earth. As a result‚ temperatures on Venus reach 870 degrees F (465 degrees C)‚ more than hot

various existing conjectures‚ and other related topics which led to their creation. First up‚ is the Mayan calendar which predicted the location of the planet Venus with an error of only two hours per 500 years. Given that the equipment during that time was not very advanced‚ the Mayans did an excellent job in deducing the position of Venus in space. Moreover‚ they also managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days‚ only 34 seconds out. However‚ this is the part that kindles

Venus Has a thick toxic atmosphere that traps heat‚ making it the hottest planet in the solar system. Much of its surface is marked with volcanoes and deep canyons‚ the biggest of which is 4‚000 miles long. Only two spacecraft have ever penetrated Venus’s thick atmosphere. And it’s not just spacecraft that have trouble getting through the atmosphere; there are fewer crater impacts on Venus than other planets‚ because all but the largest meteors

Did you know that Venus’ average surface temperature is 462 degrees celsius! This is one of the many reasons why I think that Ray Bradbury’s - “All Summer in a Day” setting isn’t possible. Venus is a different planet from earth. It has constant rain‚ and has wildly different surface temperatures. The mass of the planet is much greater than of Earth’s. These different circumstances on Venus‚ are very hard for humans to adapt to coming from Earth. Since the atmospheric pressure is 92 times greater

Venus: Death of a Planet Objectives The mission’s major objective is the first global examination of the atmosphere of Venus. The very hot and dense atmosphere appears to be completely different from the one around Earth. Existing meteorological models fail to predict the behavior of Venus’ thicker blanket of gases. Venus Express’ objectives include the study of the huge greenhouse effect on Venus (the strongest found in the Solar System); the hurricane force winds that permanently encircle

known as terrestrial planets and jovian planets. The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal. They also generally have high densities‚ slow rotation‚ solid surfaces‚ no rings‚ and few satellites. These planets include Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ and Mars. On the other hand‚ the jovian planets are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. They generally have low densities‚ rapid rotation‚ deep atmospheres‚ rings‚ and numerous satellites. These planets include Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus

She was living in the planet Venus at the moment‚ and it hasn’t stopped raining since 7 years ago. Since she was from Earth‚ she remembered what the Sun looked like‚ and she missed it dearly. “They surged about her‚ caught her up… crying into a closet‚ where they slammed and locked
