Do You Know

Because Venus and the Earth are the same size, scientists call Venus Earths sister planet.

 

 

 

Venus

 

    Venus means:
    In astronomy mythology, Venus was the Roman goddess of love and beauty. In Greek her name was Aphrodite.

     

    How much would you weigh on Venus?
    Because Venus and the Earth are almost the exact same size, you would weigh almost exactly the same on either planet. If you weighed 70 pounds on Earth you would weigh 63 pounds on Venus.

    The Planet:
    Venus is a hostile planet.  Its thick cloud cover makes it impossible to see the surface, and traps much of the Sun's heat.   This extra heat gives Venus the hottest average temperature of all the planets. 
    In many ways Venus is similar to the Earth.  It has active volcanoes, venusquakes, mountains and valleys.  The major difference is that Venus's atmosphere makes the planet far to hot for life. 

    Moons:
    Venus Has no moons.
