What Color is the Planet Venus?

Answer – Venus appears to be of a yellow-white color when viewed through a telescope.

Explanation: 

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and sixth in the solar system in size and mass. It is often referred to as the “Evening Star” or the “Morning Star” because it appears bright during mornings and evenings. 

Venus’ atmosphere contains carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds, which are responsible for the planet’s yellow-white color.
