Fact Of The Post

Venus and Mercury are the only planets within our Solar System that do not have any moons orbiting them.

Venus is the brightest planet in our night sky, but what are the facts about this planet?

Here, we share the top fifteen interesting facts about Venus!

Venus Facts The Planet

💪💪💪 Let's Start Reading These Facts 😤😤😤

1. There are more volcanoes on the surface of Venus than there are on any other planet within our Solar System. We are unsure of how active these volcanoes are, if at all.

2. Venus is the only planet named after a female.

3. Due to the thick atmosphere on Venus, temperatures on the surface can reach up to a staggering 470 degrees Celsius!

4. Venus is often said to be Earth’s twin sister, as they are both of similar sizes, mass, and density.

5. Venus and Mercury are the only planets within our solar system not to have any moons orbiting them.

6. Venus can be bright enough in the night sky to cast shadows! These types of shadows are known as “Venusian shadows”!

7. The surface of the planet is extremely dry due to the surface temperature. If there were any liquid there, the heat would cause the liquid to boil away instantly.

8. The ancient Babylonians used to track Venus’ path through the skies in records that date back as far as 1600 BC.

9. At times during history, Venus was known as “Lucifer”. Lucifer means “Light-Bringer”, and with Venus being one of the brightest objects in the night sky, it’s easy to see where this name came from. Sadly this name never really stuck and is no longer in use.

10. Venus is the only planet in our solar system to rotate clockwise! Due to its very slow rotation, experts have been led to believe that at one time far in the past, something may have collided with the planet that changed its rotation.

11. A day on Venus would last for 243 Earth days, whilst an entire year on Venus would last for 224.7 days – making a year on Venus shorter than a day!

12. The planet’s atmosphere is mostly made up of Carbon Dioxide.

13. Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

14. Maat Mons, Venus’ largest volcano, stands at 5 miles high!

15. After the Sun and the Moon, Venus is the next brightest object in our night sky.

Venus Questions And Answers 😲😲😵

What is a weird fact about Venus?

Ans: Venus has a bizarre rotation:

Venus not only rotates backward compared to the other planets, but it rotates very slowly. In fact, a day on Venus (243 days) lasts longer than it takes the planet to orbit around the Sun (225 days).

Why is Venus so special?

Ans: In addition to being extremely hot, Venus is unusual because it spins in the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets. It also has a very slow rotation making its day longer than its year. Visit NASA Space Place for more kid-friendly facts.

What is Venus's nickname?

Ans: Venus is one of the brightest objects in the sky. It is always found near the Sun. It rises and sets each day, so it has the nicknames Morning and Evening Star!

Does it rain on Venus?

Ans: The acid rain on Venus is caused by the reaction of sulfur dioxide and water in the planet's atmosphere. Despite being many times more corrosive than the most acidic rain on Earth, Venusian rainstorms are not a significant contributor to surface erosion.

How old is Venus?

Ans: Venus was formed at the same time as the rest of the Solar System, from a large spinning disk of gas and dust. Astronomers think that all this happened about 4.6 billion years ago! So Venus is about 4.6 billion years old.
