Venus

Venus is the second planet in our solar system. It is a reddish color and is very hot, temperature averaging at 836 degrees Fahrenheit. One day on Venus is 118 Earth days. Although, their year is 224 Earth days, talk about a year that goes by quick! It is 0.72 Au away from the sun. Its mass is about 0.815s of the Earths mass. Venus and Earth are always called twins because they are similar in size and density. Its atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), which makes its surface pressure a lot harder, 90% more than the Earths pressure! Venus is extremely dry because of the heat on the planet. Most probes that go there are destroyed within an hour. One reason why it is hot is because it’s so close to the sun, but is also more prone to it radiation because its magnetic field is so weak. Its magnetic field is only 0.000015 of Earth’s magnetic field. Venus was named after the roman god of beauty. Venus is an interesting planet and I want to learn more about.
