Weather Phenomena

• Venus has winds of about 360 km/h.
• It is the hottest planet in the Solar System.

• Venus is actually a rocky planet mainly composed of carbon dioxide and clouds of acid.
• It´s the hottest planet in the solar system.

IT´S ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW WHO DISCOVERED VENUS, BECAUSE THE PLANET HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE BEFORE RECORDED HISTORY.
HUMANS HAVE BEEN ON EARTH FOR 200.000 YEARS SO MAYBE THAT´S HOW LONG WE`VE KNOWN ABOUT THE PLANET.

Can humans live in Venus?

• NO, HUMANS CAN`T LIVE IN VENUS BECAUSE THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE IS ABOUT 426ºC AND THE SURFACE PRESURE IS ABOUT 90 TIMES MORE THAN EARTH SEA LEVEL.
• YOU WOULD BE BOILED AND CRUSHED IN AN INSTANT!

VENUS HAS NO SATELLITES TODAY.

HOWEVER IT`S POSSIBLE THAT VENUS DID HAVE NATURAL SATELLITES IN THE PAST.

How does Venus spin?

• IT TAKES 243 DAYS FOR VENUS TO ROTATE ON ITS OWN AXIS AND ALMOST 225 DAYS TO TRAVEL AROUND THE SUN.
• VENUS ROTATES ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
• THAT CAN BE ONE OF THE REASONS WHY VENUS DOES NOT HAVE A MAGNETIC GROUND.

THE ATMOSPHERE OF VENUS IS VERY THICK AND IT IS ABOUT 90 TIMES MORE MASSIVE THAN EARTH´S ATMOSPHERE.

• VENUS SIZE IS SIMILAR TO THE EARTH.
• THE DIAMETER OF VENUS IS 12.100KM
• IF WE PUT THE EARTH AND VENUS TOGETHER IT WOULD BE PRETTY HARD TO SEE WHICH ONE IS BIGGER.
