Venus is an extremely chaotic and hellish planet. Even though it is called earth’s twin because of how alike their size, mass, and density are so much alike, they have nothing else in common. Venus is the third brightest star in the sky, which has something to do with its name. It has one of the most unique orbital characteristics in our solar system. There are phenomenons in its atmosphere that happen nowhere else in our solar system. Venus also has a rich history of exploration.
The planet Venus is one of the brightest objects in our solar system, and is named after the roman goddess of love and beauty. The planet “may have been named for the most beautiful deity of her pantheon because it shone the brightest of the five planets known to ancient astronomers” (Choi, C 2017). Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, even though it is not the closest planet to the sun. Temperatures on the planet can get up to 870 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt lead. Venus is often called earth's twin because its “size, mass, and density are so much like Earth’s”, but that’s where the similarities end (Wyzant 2017). The planet's atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, and scientist have found trace amounts of water in the atmosphere since the surface is too hot for water to be in a liquid or solid state. Roughly ⅔ of the surface of Venus is flat, with many volcanoes that emit a blue lava from the high amounts of sulfuric acid on the planet.
There are a few other reasons why Venus cannot sustain human life. One of them is because of a huge cloud that surrounds Venus. This cloud is made up of corrosive acid, which is due to the sulfur from volcanic eruptions on Venus. The second reason is because the atmosphere pressure on Venus is also ninety times stronger than it is on earth, which is strong enough to crush a car. The third and final reason we would not be able to live on Venus is because the atmosphere of Venus is nearly all Carbon Dioxide, which makes the temperatures over nine hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
Like Mercury it is a rocky planet. It's even hotter than its smaller cousin Mercury, with temperatures drastically increased by an unchecked system of greenhouse gasses. The temperatures also varied wildly, from a -364 degree Fahrenheit low to a 870 degree high. Venus also hosts wild winds, blowing at extremely high speeds at the poles while the air at the equator hangs at a standstill. This air is also extremely heavy, and weighs almost 90 times heavier than that on Earth. Venus is constantly covered in thick, sulfurous clouds. These clouds reflect almost 90% of the light that hit them, making Venus the brightest object in the sky besides the sun and the moon. They also contain droplets of sulfuric acid, which occasionally rains down on the planet's surface. These storms even contain
The planet's atmosphere is also surrounded by thick, acidic, sulfuric clouds. The atmospheric pressure is approximately 90 times that of Earth, and the atmosphere is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, with the remaining 3.5% taken up with nitrogen and a few other elements. The thick sulfuric clouds surrounding the planet make it difficult to view the surface with any accuracy, and the huge pressure and heat below the clouds mean that the atmosphere is not conducive for human-made crafts to survive in the climate. Venus's atmosphere is in constant circulation of the planet, circling it in a mere 4 Earth days. The winds near the atmosphere of Venus are approximately 220mph in order to facilitate this speedy atmospheric rotation, although the winds on the surface are much much slower. In summary, Venus would be a bad (and unpleasant) choice for human habitation, due to enormous levels of atmospheric pressure, very high temperatures, and sulfuric acid
Venus has a very dramatic climate, it's atmosphere contains many greenhouse gasses and is the hottest planet in our solar system, despite the fact that it is further from the sun than Mercury. The atmosphere of Venus is mostly
Venus is like the planet of hell. It has acid clouds and volcanoes. It is a nice 900 *F. The air is filled with foul and corrosive sulfur. This planet has water but not a lot of it.
The atmosphere also contains traces of carbon monoxide, argon, helium and neon. The closest layer to the surface of Venus is a thick layer of carbon dioxide, which is much denser and hotter than that of Earth. There is early evidence that sulphuric acid also lay within the atmosphere of Venus, as another layer within those that surround Venus is consisted of sulphuric acid. The atmosphere of Venus circles the celestial body in just four day due to its “super rotation” and “vigorous circulation”. Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System even though it is further from the Sun than Mercury though, it used to have a climate much like Earths but runaway greenhouse gasses have affected the
Venus is a planet that isn't talked about as much as any other planet but, have you ever wondered what it would be like to live on Venus? You can, it would just take some time.
Venus' atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, with small traces of other elements and compounds spread throughout. The lowest layer of the atmosphere is made up of Carbon Dioxide -- this traps heat and energy on Venus and keeps it there. Above this layer lies sulfuric acid, which repels sunlight (this is why Venus is the 3rd brightest object in the sky), and helps trap the heat already on Venus. Because of this greenhouse-type atmosphere, Venus is an extremely hot planet -- the hottest in our solar system. Although being twice as far from the Sun than Mercury, Venus can reach 870 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas Mercury can only reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit, due to the lack of an atmosphere like
Being Earth's sister planet, Venus can be greatly compared to it. They are similar in most aspects but Venus can be distinct from Earth by its atmosphere. Venus' atmosphere consist of carbon dioxide and a small percentage of nitrogen. Its atmospheric mass is 93 times of that of Earth and its atmospheric pressure is 92 times of that of on Earth's surface. Hence, Venus has an extremely dense atmosphere. The abundance of carbon dioxide and thick clouds of sulfur dioxide is responsible for the greatest greenhouse effect in the Solar System. It causes hot surfaces, even hotter than Mercury, and its minimum surface temperature of 735 K. This temperature does not vary or varies only little between day and night in Venus due to thermal inertia and
There are many planets in the galaxy, one of them is the planet Venus. Venus is really hot,and humid.If you were able to travel to Venus it would be really really hot. The planets acttule tempature is more than 800˚F.That's is really hot!!! It takes the sun about two hundred and 43 days to rotate around Venus. The planet Venus spins really slow whikle we spin a little faster.If you lived in Venus you be really young. Venus is covered by thick, rapidly spinning clouds that trap the surface heat. The planet Venus is the second planet closest to the sun. That must mean it is one of the hottest planet. Venus from the sun is about 108,208,930 km. The surface tempature on Venus is 730˚K. That is really cool!! The moon orbits Venus 0 times.
Aside from the Sun and moon, Venus seduces the heavens with its glistening brilliance as the brightest object in the sky. Beneath Venus’ radiant appearance lies a dreadfully divergent, multifaceted surface. The gentle winds and dense clouds of Venus unceasingly neutralize the atmospheric temperatures allowing the conflicting qualities to peacefully coexist. Venus orbits at a leisurely pace enchanted by the love and beauty achieved by harmonizing extreme differences. While imposing these qualities, Venus instructs people to diplomatically reconcile opposing forces, glisten in the midst of diversity, and relish in the elements of
Since the BC’s, Venus has been recorded and seen. Before there was an official name for the planet it was called the Morning and Night star because the planet was shining brightly in the sky. The first person to really examine Venus thoroughly and mark visible features was in 1610 by Galileo, an italian scientist. The planet Venus was named after the Roman god of love and beauty, Aphrodite.
Venus is blue and too hot for any of the others to go near. She is the goddess of love and
For my vacation, my family has chosen to go to Venus. This our first year traveling outside of earth so we chose a planet close. Venus is covered with a thick layer of sulfuric acid which will be a blast to land into but on the inside Venus is solid. Venus shines super bright and has orangish yellow tint. The overall look of Venus is dreary and the gas covers the area with a goldish hue and everything looks like gunmetal. Venus is VERY hot, it temperature reaches to about 870 degrees Fahrenheit! On top of the scorching heat the Atmospheric pressure is bone crushing and highly dense.Venus is about 0.72 light years away from the Sun and blank light years from Earth. Venus is very much like earth and not very much like earth. Venus is about the same size as earth
It is called this because it closely resembles the Earth's mass, density and diameter. The only thing different is that Venus " is shrouded in thick clouds that completely hide the surface of the planet " (Grolier, 1992). The surface temperature is also much warmer than that of Earth.
