Venus, often called Earth’s twin, is the second planet from the Sun and the hottest in the solar system. With a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, it experiences a runaway greenhouse effect, trapping heat and creating scorching surface temperatures. Venus rotates in the opposite direction of most planets, making its day longer than its year.
12,104 km across
Average surface temperature of 464°C (867°F)
Composed mostly of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulfuric acid
Venus has no natural satellites
One full rotation takes 243 Earth days
Takes 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun
Venus stands out because of its thick, toxic atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Studying Venus helps scientists understand climate change and the effects of greenhouse gases.
Venus’ thick atmosphere creates intense pressure, while its surface is covered with volcanoes, mountains, and vast plains.
