6. Orbit and Rotation It takes 224.7days to orbit the Sun It takes 243 days to rotate on its axis

7. Atmosphere and Temperature the atmosphere is made up of mostly Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen exists in small doses and so does Sulfur Dioxide The cloud cover is made of Sulfur Dioxide Its average is 460°c on the surface, 410°c hotter than earth

8. Composition and Appearance Venus has a rock surface, a rocky mantle, and a molten metallic core. It appears very bright to the naked eye. when looked at through a telescope the surface is obscured by a thick cloud cover, banded with different shades of blue. The surface has many high and low lands but is relatively smooth compared to Mars and Mercury.

9. Weather Some winds are up to 360 km/h The wind slow as they grow nearer to the equator and at the equator there are almost none

10. Rings, Moons, & Water There are no rings, and Venus has no moons The atmosphere is about 0.002% water vapor

11. If Humans Were to Travel There If humans were to travel to venus we would be killed in the toxic atmosphere

12. Fun Facts Venus rotates backwards in relation to the other planets People used to think venus was tropical due to the thick cloud cover Venus has phases The atmosphere is very hostile with clouds of sulfuric dioxide and 92 times the pressure of earth.
