Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. It is a very interesting planet which looks similar in size to the Earth and sometimes called sister of the Earth. Venus has a little less gravity than the Earth, an object weighing 100 kg on the Earth would 91 kg on Venus.
Atmosphere of Venus
Venus evolved very differently than the Earth, it has a very thick atmosphere and its surface is covered with very dense clouds. These clouds are made of 95% carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas that traps Sun’s heat.
The Greenhouse effect is very strong on Venus that it makes Venus hottest planet in the solar system, even hotter than the planet Mercury which is the closest planet to our Sun. The temperature on Venus reaches around 465 °C (870 °F), compare it with 427 °C (801 °F) temperature on the Mercury during the day.
