Venus: the roman name Aphrodite the goddess of love and beauty

in classical mythological.

Position in the Solar System: venus is the 2nd planet from the sun 108.2 million km

Rotation on its Axis: 243 earth days

Size: 6,052 4.867 × 10^24 kg (0.815 M⊕)

Gravity:Venus is the virtual twin of Earth in many ways. Similar size, mass and density. But what is the gravity on Venus? According to our friends over at NASA, the answer is 8.87 m/s2. To translate that a little more, it is about 90% of the gravity here on Earth. A person who measures 100 kg when they leave home would tip the scales on the Venusian surface at 90 kg.The surface gravity of Venus is not the only characteristic of the planet that nearly mirrors Earth. Venus has 86% of the volume that Earth has along with 82% of the mass. The planet’s density is nearly identical at 5.243 g/cm3.

Orbit:224.7 Venus revolves or orbits around the Sun once every 0.615 Earth years, or once every 224.7 Earth days. Venus travels at an average speed of 78,341 miles per hour or 126,077 kilometers per hour in its orbit around the Sun.

Atmosphere: The atmosphere of Venus is made up mainly of carbon dioxide, and thick clouds of sulfuric acid completely cover the planet. The atmosphere traps the small amount of energy from the sun that does reach the surface along with the heat the planet itself releases.May 19, 2009

Temperature: 864 degrees Fahrenheit

Much of the hydrogen in the atmosphere evaporated early in the formation of Venus, leaving a thick atmosphere across the planet. At the surface, the atmosphere presses down as hard as water 3,000 feet beneath Earth's ocean. The average temperature on Venus is 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius).Nov 16, 2012

Composition of Your Planet and its Appearance: The order of the planets from closest to the Sun outwards is; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and finally Neptune. The largest planet in the solar system is Jupiter, followed by Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars with the smallest being Mercury.

Moons: All planets except Mercury and Venus have at least one moon. Saturn has the greatest number of moons—18. In 1995, the Hubble Space Telescope detected what appeared to be four additional moons of Saturn; however, that discovery has yet to be confirmed. *Several other satellites have been reported but not confirmed.Oct 9, 2011

Rings:There is no single person who is credited with the discovery of Venus.Venus is the brightest of the five planets that can be seen in the night sky without the use of a telescope or binoculars. Since Venus is so bright and noticable

in the sky, it was probably seen by the first groups of humans.

How Would a Human Being Fare on Your Planet:Venus was once thought to be a lush, life-bearing planet, but modern research has revealed an utterly lethal world. What perils await explorers of “Earth’s evil twin”? Is there anyone who hasn’t admired the lovely beacon of Venus hanging bright in a cerulean sky? (So bright in fact, it is regularly reported as a UFO, or even more ludicrously, a mystery planet denied by orthodox astronomers).

Something Special: One day on Venus is longer than one year. Due to the slow rotation on its axis, it takes 243 Earth-days to complete one rotation. The orbit of the planet takes 225 Earth-days – making a year on Venus shorter on day on Venus. Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

Your personal opinion: Their should be some drones that go their.
