know:
One day on Venus lasts as long as 243
Earth days (aka the time it takes for Venus to
rotate or spin once)
Venus is a rocky planet, also known as a
terrestrial planet
Venus' thick and toxic atmosphere is made
up mostly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen,
with clouds of sulfuric acid droplets
Venus has no moons or rings
More than 40 spacecraft have explored the
planet
No evidence of life has been found on
Venus. The planet's extreme high
temperatures of almost 480 degrees Celsius
(900 degrees Fahrenheit) makes it seem an
unlikely place for life as we know it
Venus spins backwards when compared to
the other planets. This means that the sun
rises in the west and sets in the east
Night Light
Did you know that Venus is the brightest planet
in Earth's dark skies? Only the moon — which is
not a planet — is brighter.
Venus outshines the
other planets because it is closer and its thick
cloud cover is excellent at reflecting sunlight.
