Venus is named after a Roman goddess of love and beauty.
It is the second planet from the sun and the sixth largest!
Venus is about 12,104km across and its mass is about four-fifths of the earth's.
Venus is the first point of light we see shining in the sky and reaches its maximun brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset. It is so bright it is known as the "morning star" or "evening star"!
Planets don't make their own light they reflect the sun's light!
Venus spins on its axis very slowly but orbits the sun more quickly than earth!
Venus has the densest atmosphere of all the planets consisting of mostly carbon dioxide.
VENUS
Venus is the second planet from the sun and the closest planet to Earth. It is named after The Roman Goddess of love and beauty, but it's extremely hot and deadly atmosphere makes it impossible for any human astronaut to explore its surface. The diameter of Venus is about 7,520 miles which is about 400 miles smaller than that of Earth. Venus is known as Earths' twin sister because of its similar size and proximity to each other. Its atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Venus rotates so slowly that it orbits the sun faster than it can make one whole rotation on its axis. In other words, Venus has a longer day than year. It takes 243 days for Venus to make a rotation. And it takes 224 days for Venus to orbit around the sun. Venus is the most widely explored planet aside from our own Earth. Numerous space probes have been sent to Venus to gather data and some have landed on the surface. It is believed that Venus used to have bodies of water similar to Earth, but dried up over a period of 300 million years when the sun began admitting more solar energy after the sun's infancy stage. The clouds of Venus are filled with sulphuric acid. Venus has mountains that are higher than Earth. Mat Mons is more than 5 miles high. Venus is the brightest planet viewed from Earth. The planet rotates from East to West. The only other planet that does this is Uranus.
